Obituary of Victoria S. Litty

Victoria Sharon Litty, 83, of Niles, passed away on Sunday, May 22, 2011 at her residence with her family by her side. Vic was born on January 31, 1928 in Niles to the late Joseph and Anna (Zwickl) Litty. Vic, our loving feisty aunt, loved birds and flowers. Her lawns at Third Street and Ontario Place were to be admired. In the spring, she wanted to be the first to call and say, "I saw a robin." Vic loved to walk. For years she was seen daily on Third Street walking with her head set playing. Though, Aunt Vic didn't want anyone fussing over her, she was always doing for others in spite of her constant pain. Pain that most of us never realized she lived with for years. She worked for Simplicity as a machinist for 45 years. In her retirement years, she was a friend to everyone she met. She enjoyed talking with strangers, family and friends. Her "gift" was to bring a smile to others wherever she went. Her smile will be greatly missed. God bless you Aunt Vic. You will be remembered with love. Victoria is preceded in death by her parents, five brothers; August Litty, John Litty, Joseph Litty, Michael Litty, Herman Litty, six sisters; Mary Schrader, Martha Leichtman, Rose Martinsen, Ann Montz, Josephine Quick and Virginia Mann. She is survived by a brother Fred "Fritz" Litty and several nieces and nephews. In keeping with her wishes cremation has taken place and there will be no services at this time. Memorial contributions may be made in Victoria's memory to Hospice at Home; 4025 Health Park Lane, Saint Joseph, Michigan 49085.
