Patricia M. "Pat" Kittel's Obituary
Patricia M. “Pat” Kittel, age 69, passed away Monday, January 15, 2024, in Grand Rapids. She was born on March 30, 1954, to Raymond and Lillian (Griswold) Kittel in Muskegon, MI and remained a lifelong resident. She graduated from Mona Shores High School class of 1972. Pat was an independent and determined woman who took pride in being able to do it all. She courageously battled cancer three different times during her life; Pat was tough. She was a woman of all trades and taught herself electrical, plumbing and carpentry to name a few. She had a passion for remodeling, renovation, and anything involving home improvement. Pat also enjoyed getting lost in a good book or watching her favorite “story” which she probably recorded in advance. She will always be remembered as a loving mom, doting grandma and great-grandma, wonderful sister and dear friend to many. Her playful banter and unconditional love will truly be missed by so many. She is survived by her two daughters, Jamie Cooper and Amber Cooper; nine grandchildren, Breanna, Brittany, Brekelle, Kelsey, Jaylen, Jerra, Jordyn, Jonah and Jacoby; five great-grandchildren, Ella, Noah Jr., Waylon, Mila and Reileen; two sisters, Gloria Risch and Wanda Heykoop; brother, Terry Kittel and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Jennifer Allen; sister, Sandy Kittel; and brother, Roy Kittel. A visitation will be held from 11:00AM - 2:00PM on Saturday, January 27, 2024, at The Lee Chapel of Sytsema Funeral & Cremation Services, 6291 S. Harvey St., Norton Shores, MI 49444. Memorial Contributions in her honor can be directed to the American Cancer Society. Share memories with the family at www.sytsemafh.com.
