Linda Marie Vetrano DeFilippo, beloved mother, sister, aunt, grandmother, and friend, passed away peacefully on May 10, 2026 at age of 58, surrounded by the love of her family.

Linda was known for her strength, kindness, faith, and deep love for those around her. She had a warm heart, a caring spirit, and a way of making people feel welcomed and loved. Her family was the center of her world, and she especially cherished the time spent with those she loved most.

Over 25 years ago, Linda began her career in real estate with determination, hard work, and a true passion for helping others. Through her dedication and commitment to her clients, she built an extraordinary career and became an award-winning top realtor in Rockland County. She was admired throughout the community for her professionalism, integrity, and genuine care for the families she served. To Linda, real estate was never just about houses; it was about helping people find a place to call home, and many of her clients became lifelong friends.

Linda also took great pride in helping further develop the county she grew up in and loved so deeply. She valued the relationships she built throughout the community and felt honored to play a role in helping families establish their homes and futures in Rockland County.

Linda shared a special bond with her family through the New York Yankees and treasured attending Opening Day with her son, John, creating memories together that became one of their most cherished traditions.

Linda’s greatest joy was being a mother! She enjoyed spending time with her daughter, Jenna doing arts and crafts and sharing laughter, creativity and countless memories. She also adored making videos with her grandson, Nicholas, moments that brought her endless happiness and laughter.

A devoted woman of faith, Linda held a special love for Saint Michael the Archangel and found comfort and strength in prayer throughout her life.

She is survived by her daughter, Jenna; son, John; grandson, Nicholas; mother, Geraldine; father, Dominick; sister, Lisa (Bill) DiGiacomo; brother, Vinny (Joanne) Vetrano; nieces, Alisa, Alaina and Alexa; and nephews, Dominick and Vincent.
