Caitlin Margret Kurylo, age 35 years, passed away December 15, 2018, at Johns Hopkins Medical Center, Baltimore, MD. She had been battling a rare and aggressive form of Melanoma.
Never giving up her fight against the cancer that took her life day by day, she could’ve complained and said, “Why me?” but she didn’t. She kept her chin up, and put-up with every treatment, every needle, every pill, and whatever was necessary to beat her illness.
Born on January 26, 1983 at Hunterdon Medical Center, Raritan Township, NJ, Caitlin was the middle child of Robert Joseph Kurylo, Sr. and Barbara Tufo Kurylo.
Raised in Ringoes, NJ, she was a 2001 graduate of Hunterdon Central Regional High School and her love for animals led her to continue her studies in Zoology at Miami University, Oxford, OH.
From there, Caitlin joined the Peace Corps and volunteered for 2.5 years in Romania, helping to establish the first Raptor rehabilitation center in Eastern Europe.
Upon return to the states, she earned a Masters in International Relations at George Mason University, Fairfax, VA. Since then she has continued to live in Arlington, VA and most recently worked as a victim’s advocate for the Superior Court of Washington, D.C.
Caitlin was very loved and will be missed so much. She enjoyed spending time with her family at their home in NJ. Her wonderful, large, and diverse group of friends from around the world were never far from her thoughts and actions either. She was known by all to be a fantastic story-teller, excellent cook, lover of animals, and spontaneous adventurer. Her travels covered at least 25 countries spanning 5 of the 7 continents.
Though her physical presence is gone from this earth, the light she put forth will never be darkened. As someone who accomplished everything she set her mind to, as someone who found humor in all aspects of the experience we know as, “living,” and as someone who loved with a heart bigger than anyone could imagine, death is not an unstoppable force that took Caitlin; nothing can take Caitlin as long as she lives on in the loving words and acts of kindness put forth by all those who knew her. That is her lasting legacy.
Surviving are her parents, Barbara and Robert J. Kurylo, Sr.; a sister, Jessica Kurylo; a brother, Robert J. Kurylo, Jr; many aunts, uncles, cousins and extended family; and many dear friends.
Caitlin will lie in repose on Friday, December 21, 2018 from 3:00-7:00 p.m. in the Chapel of Wright & Ford Family Funeral Home and Cremation Services, 38 State Highway 31, Flemington, NJ, where family and friends are invited to help celebrate her life and enduring legacy.
Life celebration services with eulogies by family and close friends will begin at 7:00 p.m. to which all are invited.
Funeral services officiated by Rev. Michael Atzert will take place on Saturday, December 22, 2018 at 10:00 a.m. in the funeral home, preceded by a gathering beginning at 9:30 a.m. As with the life celebration service, all are welcomed and encouraged to help celebrate Caitlin’s life.
Committal prayers followed by cremation at the Chapel of Ewing Crematory, Ewing Township, NJ will be private with the immediate family.
Please visit Caitlin’s permanent memorial site at www.wrightfamily.com where one can light a memorial candle and leave a message of condolence and words of comfort, as well as share stories and photographs of her life.
In lieu of flowers, contributions in her honor may be made to the Melanoma Research Foundation (www.melanoma.org), The Wildlife Conservation Society (www.wcs.org), or to the newly created “Caitlin Margaret Kurylo ’11 Memorial Study Abroad Scholarship Endowment at George Mason University’s Schar School of Policy and Government.” The purpose of the Fund is to provide scholarship support for undergraduate and graduate students, pursuing any degree within the Schar School of Policy and Government, who will be participating in the study abroad program with the Schar School. Created in the hopes that others may have an opportunity to enjoy traveling as much as she did! Memorial donations may be made by check to the “George Mason University Foundation” with “Caitlin Fund” in the memo section and mailed to Schar School, 3351 Fairfax Drive, MS 3B1, Arlington, VA 22201 or online at https://advancement.gmu.edu/kurylo-memorial.
Caitlin’s entire family is grateful for all contributions, as well as the tremendous support of family and friends during this time. Your love is continuing to make Caitlin smile.

We are all so incredibly sad to hear of Caitlyn's passing. Both of our daughters grew up with Caitlyn in East Amwell and have so many fond memories of her beautiful, generous and kind spirit at EA school, Girl Scout's, KMPC and as Marching Red Devils in HS. Caitlyn was Heidi's captain in color guard.
We can't even imagine the painful loss you are all experiencing now. Please know you are all in our thoughts and prayers. We send you all, our love, peace, and sincerest sympathy.

To all the Kurylos, My deepest condolences on your incredible loss. When we moved to East Amwell in 1991, in third grade, Caitlin was the first person to say hello to me and became my first friend in town. Even though we lost touch over the years, I will always remember her with love and appreciation for how welcome she made me feel on that scary first day, and how much fun we had together during our childhood. My heart goes out to you at this time, and you'll be in my thoughts and prayers.

My sincere sympathies go out to all the Kurylo family members on the tragic loss of their beloved Caitlin. I rented a house here in Arlington, Va. to Caitlin starting in 2012. I also have an old connection to the Kurylo family as I attended Hunterdon Central High School with her dad. She was kind, gentle, friendly, responsible and very serious and diligent in her life pursuits. My fondest memory will be our occasional conversations concerning her sincere interest and efforts to grow various herbs and vegetables. I would jokingly tell her I could never properly grow anything green and then she would laugh, give some advice and encourage me to try again. Caitlin fought so very hard and bravely to get better. She was lost much much too soon. Caitlin was a real hero and I will miss her.

Thank you for always bringing a smile to my face. Thank you for being such an inspiration and helping me understand the meaning of happiness. I will always think of you at baseball games, any time I pass our old office at GMU, whenever I eat Ethiopian food, next time I go shopping at National Harbor, every time I look at my TV stand... I’ll keep scoring goals for you on the ice, too. You’re a beautiful person, a complete angel, and I am so blessed to call you a friend.

How lucky was I to live down the hall from a larger than life, loud-mouthed, Jersey girl 17+ years ago at Miami U. Even luckier to have her become my friend, my roommate, and my family.
I will never be ready to say goodbye to Caitlin. I'm so grateful to have had one last snuggle with her days before she left us.
She got along easily with my daughter, Margaux. Watching my 2.5 year old run through the house, laughing maniacally as she chases the cat, crazy curls bouncing around, I can see why.
Rest easy my Dizz. I keep you in my heart always.

My Cait. I am so incredibly sad that the world has lost such an amazing human being. Caitlin was one of the very first people I met when we moved to New Jersey and I am so lucky that we stayed friends ever since. She was there for so many of the most important moments of my life and I only wished we lived closer so we could see each other more often. I'm so thankful we got to see her for a week back in September when she was feeling relatively good and was her usual sassy hilarious self. I will always remember her that way. She was always so brave and fearless and she inspired me and everyone who knew her to be more adventurous. My kids have such nice memories of their "Aunty Caitlin" and continue to talk about the time she treated them to the world's most amazing unicorn milkshake. I love you so much Caitlin and I hope you are living it up in style in heaven. All my love to her family during this sad time.

Caitlin and I worked together these last 2 years. To say she was the life of the office is an understatement. She had some of the wittiest come backs I’d ever heard. She would send us pictures while traveling around the world. I saw parts of the earth through her eyes. I shared experiences and learned many things that I never would have if it wasn't for my Caitlin. I will forever remember Caitlin and thank God for allowing me to share a small part of my life with her. She was a fighter. To her family and close friends, you have my condolences. May the Lord be with you and His peace give you comfort today and all the days ahead.

I am sorry I did not push hard enough and try to help you this year. I am truly hurt and heartbroken that you are gone.

Caitlin and I studied in graduate school together, worked in the same building, and I also stayed with her for a short time when I was looking for a place to stay. She has been my closest friend since that time. We connected immediately through our Mediterranean roots. Her energy, positivism, excitement was contagious. I've never been as happy around someone as I was with her. Spreading joy and love to all around her, she was a wholesome, genuine person who was real all around - loving, vulnerable, ambitious, loyal, beautiful inside and out. I respect the courage she demonstrated in various aspects of life, and also as she battled illness. She was there for me when I went through challenges, I always knew I could depend on her. Those years would have been so incomplete, and so much harder without her friendship and kindness. I am so sad that I could not spend more time with her due to physical distance in recent years, but we never lost touch and she continued to share her joy and love for life with her messages and social media. I cannot believe that she is gone.
I'm going to miss you so much my dear friend. I will never forget you, your companionship, your vast spirit! I love you, I know you will rest in peace. I have bought sweets to be distributed in your name at the mosque this Friday after services. If I make it to heaven, I will meet you there.
I send my deepest condolences to family and friends.

I’ve known Caitlin since high school and share some great memories of her. I recall going mini golfing with her once and we somehow managed to get to the driving range area and were chased off together. It’s a memory I’ll never forget.

I know you will not reed this and I know you are gone but thank you for sharing a moment with my family and finding out what our baby is going to be.
I am glad you and Lauren are friends and I am glad you had become part of her life.
I am sorry I did not push hard enough and try to help you this year. I am truly hurt and heartbroken that you are gone.
I am sorry that I could not help more, and I know Lauren is truly going to miss everything about your friendship you two shared.
<3

Caitlin and I studied in graduate school together, worked in the same building, and I also stayed with her for a short time when I was looking for a place to stay. She has been my closest friend since that time. We connected immediately through our Mediterranean roots. Her energy, positivism, excitement was contagious. I've never been as happy around someone as I was with her. Spreading joy and love to all around her, she was a wholesome, genuine person who was real all around - loving, vulnerable, ambitious, loyal, beautiful inside and out. I respect the courage she demonstrated in various aspects of life, and also as she battled illness. She was there for me when I went through challenges, I always knew I could depend on her. Those years would have been so incomplete, and so much harder without her friendship and kindness. I am so sad that I could not spend more time with her due to physical distance in recent years, but we never lost touch and she continued to share her joy and love for life with her messages and social media. I cannot believe that she is gone.
I'm going to miss you so much my dear friend. I will never forget you, your companionship, your vast spirit! I love you, I know you will rest in peace. I have bought sweets to be distributed in your name at the mosque this Friday after services. If I make it to heaven, I will meet you there.
I send my deepest condolences to family and friends.

Caitlin was truly a badass lady who lived life to the fullest! I always listened in admiration to stories of her travels and what she had planned next. I wish I had the courage to do half the things she did! It was always a joy to collaborate with Caitlin in her work at CVCP. She was such a bright light to all those who had the pleasure of knowing her. I miss you Caitlin, and I hope you’re being a badass in heaven just as you were here. R.I.P.

Caitlin was one of my dearest friends. I count myself blessed to have met you while at Miami U and to have someone so full of light in my life thereafter! You, my dearest bidget, were so fearless and adventurous, so loving and kind, so selfless and sincere. This works won't shine the same without you in it. I love and miss you so much...until we meet again.
Xoxo, Mela

Dear Kurylo family,
I'm devastated with Caitlin's passing. I feel like even when she got sick, I saw her as this superwoman that would adventure her way through it and I recognize the naivete in that now. Caitlin was a best friend in my life. When I think of my childhood and adolescence, nearly every thought goes to a memory with her. My prayers are with each of you as you grieve. I grieve with you.

My Sweet Friend~ you have been such a big part of my life and so many happy memories are of our time together. I love you Caitlin. Thank you for your friendship, for your unforgiving jokes at the most opportune times, your quick wit, your jersey girl knowledge. Seriously, you always knew something about everything.
So full of life, beauty, and energy. I see you somewhere exotic surrounded by friends laughing at some hilarious travel story. All of us are eating something delicious you just whipped up out of nowhere talking about your next big adventure and where you're headed next. I hope it's the best trip yet - like a paradise.

My life was touched by Caitlin starting in high school. We shared so many wonderful experiences and I have many memories of our times together. From band camp to late night bus rides home from band competitions to her visits to Penn State and countless sleepovers. She was one of the funniest, most thoughtful and beautiful people I have ever met and she will be deeply missed by all she touched.

I knew Caitlin through my wife Lauren, who had a strong bond with Caitlin from their days together in high school. I did not know Caitlin as well as many others, but I will always admire her adventurous soul, her open heart, and her passion for helping others. The world is worse off without her in it. My sincerest condolences to the family, and thank you for bringing her into this world and shaping her into the amazing woman that she became.

Oh how saddened I am to hear this. Such a great person and full of adventure. We may not have been in touch for long bouts of time but when we did catch up, boy did I love hearing her stories and on occasion the various ways she managed to injure herself at times. I’ve known Caitlin since high school and share some great memories of her. I recall going mini golfing with her once and we somehow managed to get to the driving range area and were chased off together. It’s a memory I’ll never forget. She definitely kept things fun and real. She was my Caitlinio!
My sincerest condolences to her family and friends. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
