We Remember

PORRELLI, Kristen Marie

Kristen Porrelli passed away suddenly at the age of 22 in Vancouver on July 3, 2014.  She is survived by her parents Barry and Laurie, and her loving brother Jordan. She also leaves her Nonna and Nonno, Elso and Bruna Vizzutti; Gramma, Ruth Porrelli; Uncles, Gord Vizzutti (Patricia) and Bryan Porrelli (Karen); Aunt, Judy Watson (Mike); and her cousins Daniel (Carrie), Ryder, Kenzie and Desiree.

And her puppy Bella, the love of her life.

Kristen lived life to the fullest.  She was a tremendous athlete whose compassion always shined on whether assisting at an orphanage in Haiti after the earthquake, as a candy striper at the hospital, or volunteering at a Society for the terminally ill in downtown Vancouver.

A Funeral Service will be held on Thursday, July 10th at 11:00 am at Emmanuel Church, 2600 Hebert Road, West Kelowna, BC.   In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Kristen’s name to the Kelowna Food Bank or Woman’s Shelter.  If you wish to send a condolence, post photos or share a memory, please scroll down the page to the area called “Share Your Condolences.”

    Dear Barry, Laurie and Jordan,
    Our sincerest condolences for the loss of your beautiful Kristen.
    My first memories of Kristen were when I coached her in youth soccer when she was just 6 years old and had the pleasure of coaching Kristen for several years thereafter. She was a also a team mate with our daughter Lindsey in club volleyball and a partner in several beach volleyball competitions.
    Kristen was an incredible athlete and a very passionate person whom cared very much for her family and friends.
    We will all miss her and her beautiful smile.

  • Rosa Dubois says:

    Dear Barry, Laurie, and Jordan,

    I will never forget the kindness Kristen showed me when my brother and I grew up with her. I can still hear her laugh and see her eyes light up. Kristen was exceptional because she was beautiful inside and out. She didn’t shy away from helping others, was compassionate, stood up for her beliefs, was a leader and not a follower. She remained true to herself. I’m still in shock about the loss of her. She was a gift on this earth and I know she will continue to shine in heaven <3

    My family and I send out our sincerest condolences for the loss of an angel, beautiful Kristen. Our hearts and prayers go out to you during this difficult time.

    Clement, Helga, Juan and Rosa Dubois

    Barry, Laurie, Jordan and Bella,
    We are devastated to hear the sad news of your losing a beautiful daughter and sister. I remember meeting Kristen at a golf event and she was an impressive young lady – vibrant, energetic and full of life. You have been in our thoughts these past few weeks – we are so sorry for your loss.

    Our hope is that your family will somehow find the strength to carry on, and that you will be able to hold onto the best memories of Kristen and how she had such a compassionate impact on people’s lives. Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

    I remember Kristen when she worked at the gym I used to go to. She was the nicest person. On top of that, she was as beautiful a young woman that you would ever see.

    I was hoping that this was a different person than young woman I remembered working at that gym, but sadly it is exactly that person. This is horrible news for me to hear. I can’t imagine how hard this is for her family. I just don’t know what to say.
