Harriette Ann (Williams) Vitale

Harriette Ann Vitale, 73, went to be our Lord and Savior with her loving family by her side on Friday December 13, 2019. She was born on July 20, 1946 in Scranton, Pennsylvania to the late Edwin Williams & Dorothy (Havenstrite) Williams. Harriette was a faithful woman with a heart of gold. She was a teaching assistant with Wappingers Central School District until her retirement in 1999. On December 3rd, 1966, Harriette married the love of her life, Edward “Eddie” Vitale, who survives her at home. Following her well-deserved retirement, Harriette and her husband relocated to sunny Myrtle Beach, South Carolina to enjoy the warm weather and beautiful beaches. In her free time, Harriette was a proud and avid member of Grand Strand Community Church in Myrtle Beach. She loved to sing in the praise & worship team and choir. She had the voice of an angel and a deep love for her family and Jesus. Harriette will be deeply missed by all who had the honor of getting to know her and for the amazing wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt and friend she truly was. Left to cherish Harriette’s memory are her beloved husband and best friend of 53 years, Mr. Edward “Eddie” Vitale of Myrtle Beach; their children, Beth A. Vitale of Murrells Inlet, Edward John “Johnnie” Vitale, Jr. and his wife, Debbie of Myrtle Beach, Randall G. Vitale of Wampee, SC & Robyn M. Trudeau and her husband, Matthew of Myrtle Beach; her adoring grandchildren, Anadel McMurray and her husband, Michael, Jacob Filpo, John Russell and Adam Vitale, Rachael & Ryan Trudeau; as well as a large, loving extended family and many supportive friends and neighbors.
