Kelly Vitale

Kelly Vitale, 44, of Bethlehem, peacefully passed away on Friday, April 19, 2024, surrounded by her loving husband, parents, siblings, cousins, aunt, uncle, and friends, after her valiant fight with metastatic breast cancer. She was born on May 20, 1979, the daughter of Marie (Cavote) Silfies and William Steirer. She married her sweetheart, Michael Vitale, on May 14, 2022, and they both said it was the best day of their lives.

Kelly's light was like no other, and her bright smile and laugh would light up a room. Her strength and character helped her survive the toughest of days. Her strong will to live and love for her husband and family carried her through more than five years of treatment. She will continue to shine her light through all of the lives she so greatly touched over the years.

To Kelly, family was everything. She will be dearly missed by her husband, Mikey; mom, Marie and husband, Jef; dad, Bill and wife, Kathy; siblings, Kristen (Alex), Katie (Richie), Matt, Lizzy, Caroline, and Meredith; in-laws, Joseph and Karen; brother-in-law, Joey (Kerri), sister-in-law, Gina (Sal); and many more cousins, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and friends. She will also be terribly missed by her sweet pup, Linc.

A Memorial Mass celebrating Kelly's life will be held on Monday, May 20, 2024, at Our Lady of Perpetual Help, 3219 Santee Road, Bethlehem, PA 18020 at 11:00 am. Calling hours will be held in the church beginning at 9:30 am. Details on a Celebration of Life will be finalized at a later date.

Flowers can be sent to Connell Funeral Home, or donations may be made in Kelly's honor to Metavivor.org, the only organization where 100% of all donations are dedicated to research for Stage IV, metastatic breast cancer.

"Your valiant fight with cancer is over now, so rest; you earned your peace."
