Lynda Joyce Edwards Pacapelli, lifelong resident of West Haven entered into eternal rest on Saturday February 26, 2022, with her family by her side. Lynda was born on September 25, 1944, in New Haven, CT. daughter of the late Morton and Josephine McGarry Edwards. She married Eugene “Yatch” Pacapelli on February 20, 1965, and they spent 57 beautiful years together. Family was everything for Lynda. Along with her husband she is survived by her children Gene and his wife Annmarie, their children Nicole, Marisa and Eugene (EJ), Gina Prisco and her husband Ken, their daughter Gabriella, Michael and his son Mikey. She leaves her brother Morton Edwards and his wife Priscilla. She was also loved by many nieces and nephews. Lynda worked as a mom raising her children. Later in life she decided to “go” to work at ADP and UHAUL among the trucks, a job she loved. She was known for her many trips to the casino. Her greatest joy was spending time watching her grandchildren play every sport imaginable. She did not miss a game. Never one to boast or brag but she was so incredibly proud of all of them.
