Mary Kittell Obituary
Naples, FL—It is with great sadness that the family of Mary Louise (Crifasi) Kittell announces her passing on 9-21-20 after a hard-fought battle with Covid-19.
Mary was 65 and living in Naples, Florida.
Mary was born on February 4, 1955, in Springfield, Illinois to Jack and Hazel Crifasi. She was married to Jay Dee Kittell who was the love of her life. He predeceased her.
Mary worked as a nurse for many years. It truly was her calling. In her early years, Mary worked alongside her family at the Southern Air restaurant.
Mary loved to cook and craft. She also loved her hometown, especially in Winter. She loved the snow!
Mary cherished her family, her children, and her grandchildren.
She will be sadly missed by her sons Vinnie (Jen) Randazzo 111, Kyle (Nichole) Kittell, daughter Carmen Randazzo and brothers Jack and Tony Crifasi along with her many grandchildren, great-grandchildren, nieces, nephews, cousins, and great friends who she treasured.
You will be forever remembered, Mary.
A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

To my sister-in-law Mary. I have many fond memories with you and JD. I was just looking through pictures of when we came to your house at Xmas one year and it brought back so many memories! I will always remember the good times we had and will miss you dearly. You are now joined in heaven with JD. Love you both!

So sorry for your loss. Many years ago I babysat her, Jack, and Anthony. She was a cute little toddler with lots of long dark hair, that was a long time ago when they lived on south 4th st., and later at the SouthernAire. The last time I saw her was 25 or 30 years ago when she and Frannie visited the shop, May you all find some comfort in the pleasant thoughts, and memories of her. Cousin Arlene

Mary was very dear to our family and my sister's best friend. Jay D was our neighbor (The Mannings) on Ivanhoe Dr. I'll never forget when she came to visit my sister in the summer of 1970 my mom about took the back door off with the carport pole. Good times, great memories. RIP Mary Crifasi
