About Our Angel: Emma

Emanuela “Emma” Cappellini, 57, of Florham Park, formerly of Whippany, was a woman whose faith was at the heart of everything she did. Her Catholic beliefs were her anchor — the quiet strength she turned to in both joyful and difficult times. She was strong and steady, the kind of person who stood tall for her family and what she believed in. But what truly set her apart was her heart. Emma had a way of making everyone feel seen and cared for, like they were part of something bigger — because with her, they were.

Her home was a place of love, laughter, and the unforgettable smell of her cooking — especially her famous pizza that brought people together around the table. It wasn’t just food; it was how she showed love. Her warmth filled every corner of her home, and being there always felt like a hug.

Emma found joy in the little things — country music playing in the background, sci-fi and fiction shows that sparked her imagination, and, most of all, the people she loved gathered around her. She encouraged her children to dream big, to chase what made them happy, and to live life fully while they had the chance. It wasn’t just advice — it was how she lived every day.

Emma will always be remembered for her strength, her kindness, and the love she gave so generously. Her spirit lives on in every heart she touched, and in all the beautiful moments we’ll carry with us, always.
