Grace Kittrell Obituary
We want to remember the life of Grace Phillippa Kittrell who left us August the 15th in 2013.
She loved her family, her friends, her home on Lake Bistineau, her pets, her critters, her plants, her books, her libraries. She cherished life and lived one big adventure. She loved to travel, eat gourmet foods, photograph everything around her, listen to great music, fish in the lake, watch movies, play computer games, study art and read the works of the big thinkers of
our world.
Grace was born in Jena, Louisiana on August 25, 1929. Graduated from Good Pine High School, went to Northeast Louisiana State College, joined the Air Force and attained the rank of Major.
She was preceded in death by her parents, Dr. John Moore Kittrell and Elizabeth Riley Winn Kittrell of Jena, Louisiana; her sisters , Anne Moore Kittrell Elliott of Monroe, Louisiana and Mary Kittrell Winnard of Bay Saint Louis, Mississippi; and her life partner, Millie Engle of Lake Bistineau, Louisiana. She is survived by her sister, Madge Kittrell Smith of Drew, Louisiana; her brother-in-law, Lamar Smith and his wife Mary, of Drew, Louisiana; niece, Megan Elliott Wilson of West Monroe, Louisiana; and nephew, Jason Andrew Elliott of Monroe, Louisiana.
She is missed by many.

Aunt Grace was a lovely, caring lady that I shall forever cherish and remember. After hurricane katrina, she opened her life and her heart and helped take care of my mother for almost a year until returning to Bay St. Louis was possible. Aunt Grace was fun and interesting with many interests. On behalf of my son and myself, she is loved and missed very much. Our condolances to all of her extended family.

I am so very sorry to learn of Ms. Kittrell's passing. She was a frequent and favored patron of the Broadmoor Library for many, many years. It was always a delight to see her when she would come in. We have missed her presence in our lives. Anna Livengood, Broadmoor Branch Library/Shreve Memorial Library.

On behalf of Women Veterans of Louisiana we offer our heartfelt sympathies to the family of Miss Grace Phillippa Kittrell, U.S. Air Force veteran. Here is a poem that we honor our women with:
She is a woman veteran
Whose service was true
She proudly served
The Red, White and Blue
She gave a part of her life
So others could be free
And without any hesitation
She joined unselfishly
She did her job well
With Honor and Pride
And served her great country
With the men alongside
We're proud today to know
That although she is gone
She goes on to glory
After a job "well done"
And so, "Our Dear Sister"
We salute you today
A special Airman laid to rest
In this quiet, solemn way
Inspired by: God
