Daryl K. Burns-Cutillo, 78, of Holmdel, passed away at her home on Saturday, November 7, 2026.

Daryl was born on August 10, 1948, in Jersey City to John "Jack" and Marie Burns. She grew up there with her two brothers, Jack and Brian. She spent her entire career with the United States Postal Service in Hoboken, managing real estate leases. She made her home in Holmdel for 39 years.

Daryl was fiercely independent. If something broke, she fixed it. If a tree needed to come down, she was there with her chainsaw. She had a sharp, curious mind and loved a good debate, and she raised her family the same way. She could find humor in almost anything and always had everyone laughing along with her.

She loved her family and friends and her many trips to Disney with her son, but her grandchildren were the light of her life. Her favorite times were spent with them, and her generosity of time and spirit will always be remembered.

She was predeceased by her husband, Michael Cutillo; her parents, John and Marie Burns; and her brothers, Jack and Brian Burns.

Daryl is survived by her son, Michael Cutillo, his wife Erin, and her grandchildren Liam and Clara.

Visitation will be held on Thursday, November 12, from 4 to 7 p.m. at Holmdel Funeral Home, 26 South Holmdel Road, Holmdel, with a brief service during visitation
