Eileen M. Chiappetta, of Greenwich, passed away peacefully on May 27, 2025 with her family by her side at the age of 86. Eileen was born in New Rochelle, NY on January 1, 1939 to John and Helen MacElroy.
Eileen had a strong work ethic and enjoyed a long career with the Hyatt Corporation as Executive Assistant for the general manager at the Greenwich Hyatt. Her hard work and dedication allowed for many years of travel throughout the United States and abroad with her husband, and many times with her family.
Eileen’s family was always her primary focus, and she never missed an opportunity to see her children or grandchildren, no matter the occasion. In the two weeks before her passing, Eileen joined in celebration of a birthday and a First Holy Communion for two of her great granddaughters. Eileen cherished her many friends, who enjoyed her kind, caring, and always selfless nature.
Eileen was active in bowling and golf for many years. As captain of her bowling team, she led her team to several championships at the Pickwick, Doral, and Greenwich Lanes. She played golf with her friends and family at Bruce and The Griff. On a nice day, Eileen could be found walking the boardwalk at Playland, enjoying the view of the playful dogs on the beach. Eileen had a deep faith, and she was a lifelong parishioner at St. Roch’s Church. She dedicated time to volunteering for Kids in Crisis.
Eileen is now reunited in heaven with her husband of 63 years, Rocco (Shabby) Chiappetta, and her parents John and Helen MacElroy, brother James Joseph MacElroy, and sister Maureen MacElroy. She is survived by her cherished children Rocco (Rick) Chiappetta (Heather), LeeAnna Whitely (Robert), and loving grandchildren Alex Chiappetta (Stephanie), Morgan Marcinek (Bryan), Alyssa Magliola (Andrew), Connor Whitely (Janine) and Dylan Whitely, as well as 11 (soon to be 12) great grandchildren. She is also survived by her sister, Brenda
Petrizzi (Robert), and her sisters in law, Marie Chiappetta and Jane Carriero.
There will be no calling hours. A Mass of Christian burial will be held on June 5th at 11:00am at St. Roch Church, St. Roch Avenue, Greenwich. Burial will be private.
