Joan L. Vitalo, 87, of Blandon, Pennsylvania, passed away peacefully on March 12, 2025, at The Lutheran Home at Topton, surrounded by her loving children. She was born on March 15, 1937, in Philadelphia, to the late John and Helen E. (Springart) Tittle.

Joan is survived by her beloved children: Ronald S. Vitalo, husband of Valerie B.; Steven J. Vitalo; and Vickie A. Vitalo. She also leaves behind her cherished grandsons, Scott and Brian; step-grandchildren Christian, Peter, Tina, Val, and Sam; and a remarkable legacy of 14 great-grandchildren. Additionally, she is survived by her siblings, Helen Kepner, John Tittle, and Carol Comer.
