Virginia (Lyons) Cadotte was called to heaven in the late afternoon of May 26. Jinny, born Feb. 26, 1936 in Manhattan, was the oldest daughter to Mary and John Lyons.
Jinny was preceded in death by her parents, sister Eleanor, and loving husband Roger.
Jinny will be terribly missed by her adoring sister and brother-in-law, Joanmarie and Ray Hapeman; her loving nieces and nephews, Eleanor and Chuck Fallon, Teresa Vande Creek, and Chris Hapeman; her dear step-children, Rene and Tommy McLaren, Michele Bruno, Jeannine Smith, Richard Cadotte, Denise and Stephen Schulz, John and Marie Cadotte, Thomas and Danielle Cadotte, and Joseph and Josephine Cadotte; her lifelong best friend Betty Doyle; and many grand and great-grandchildren, nieces and nephews.
Jinny was a graduate of Saint Joseph High School in Brooklyn. She was an administrative assistant at the New York Law School and Riverview Medical Center before retiring to Luftman Towers in Lincroft.
Jinny loved her family and puttering around town. Jinny will be most remembered for her free spirit, generous ways and ability to make everyone laugh.
A private burial will be held June 20 at Holy Cross Cemetery in North Arlington. Jinny’s family and friends will enjoy a celebration of her life on her birthday in February 2021.
