In Loving Memory of Kathryn Ann Van Dina
It is with profound sorrow that we announce the passing of Kathryn Ann Van Dina (née Cacace), beloved wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, cousin, and friend, on May 15, 2025, in Daytona Beach, Florida.
Born on June 16, 1948, in Brooklyn, New York, Kathryn lived a life marked by love, devotion, and an unwavering commitment to her family.
Kathryn was the cherished daughter of the late Louis and Gemma Cacace. In 1967, she married George Van Dina, and together they shared over 58 years of a loving and enduring partnership. Their union was a testament to mutual respect, deep affection, and shared values.
In 2016, Kathryn and George relocated from Long Island, New York to Port Orange, Florida, where they embraced their new community with open hearts.
As a mother, Kathryn was a source of constant support and guidance to her daughters, Tracie Romandetti (husband Joseph) and Kimberly Sheerin (husband Thomas). Her role as a grandmother, affectionately known as "Mimi," brought her immense joy. She took great pride in her grandchildren: Emma, Connor, Ryan, and Anna, with whom she shared countless moments of love and laughter.
Kathryn was also a devoted sister to Joel and Louis, and a beloved aunt, cousin, and friend to many. Her life was a rich tapestry of relationships, each woven with care, compassion, and a genuine interest in the well-being of others.
A celebration of Kathryn's life will be held on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at Baldwin Brothers Funeral Home, 1 Causeway N., New Smyrna Beach, FL 32169.
