Marie Jeffrey Vitale

I knew Marie through her sisters Joanne and Carol. We all took French class with Mr. Hoover at Northern High School. I am deeply saddened by Marie's passing. Marie was a vibrant person who will be greatly missed.

I will always remember how good it was to see her smile. I feel blessed to have cared for and met her. My heart goes out to her family and friends, and my thoughts and prayers are with you. Heaven has truly gained an angel <3

Marie was a great friend during middle school. I enjoyed all the fun times at her house with her sisters and brother, and sampling her mother's Hungarian Goulash. My prayers are with her family. She was a wonderful friend.

Marie always practiced her memory skills, and frequently recited famous quotes. "I will not waste my energy in friction, when it can be used for momentum." Sir Francis Bacon, 1836. She wrote that on the receipt from El...

My heart goes out to the family of this beautiful friend and classmate. Praying for you today.
Marie, you always made me smile...

Marie always had a smile on her face and was such a beautiful person. God Bless Marie and her family.
