HEAVEN JUST GOT A LITTLE ROWDIER

Kaitlyn Rose Tarsa, 38, passed away at her home in Florida on April 21, 2026. She was born on February 14, 1988, in Ridgewood, New Jersey, to Corinne and Leon Tarsa.

Kaitlyn grew up in Wantage/Sussex, New Jersey, surrounded by the love of her mother, Corinne Bosma, and stepfather, Albert Bosma. She shared her childhood with her sister, Tania-Lee Tarsa, and her brother, Gavin Tarsa, as well as her stepbrothers, Scott and Shane Bosma.

Kaitlyn also built deep and lasting friendships that meant so much to her. Among them, her closest friends, Amanda, Sabrina, and Adrienne, held a very special place in her heart. Together they shared countless moments, laughter, and memories that she cherished deeply.

Kaitlyn lived a life defined by love, adventure, and a free spirit. She had a deep compassion for Rescue dogs and found joy in life’s simplest and most beautiful moments. She felt most at peace by the ocean, in the warmth of the sun, and watching sunsets.

Forever wild, Forever free, Forever loved!
