Merrimack – Alexandria “Lexi” Joyce Kittle, 10, went home to be with the Lord on Saturday, September 17th, at her home, surrounded by her family after an almost four-year-long battle with cancer.

Lexi was born in Nashua, on November 2, 2000, the daughter of Larry and Brenda (Drivick) Kittle. She was a student at South Merrimack Christian Academy in Merrimack, NH.

Lexi loved to laugh and have fun with her many friends and family and was a delight to all who knew her. She was an exceptionally brave and courageous girl with wisdom well beyond her years. During her long illness, she never complained about the constant trips to Boston and the endless treatments.

She looked forward to every family trip to Florida and New York to visit her grandparents and relatives. She always wanted everyone to be happy, and brought a sparkle to every gathering.

She was predeceased by her paternal grandfather, Lawrence Kittle, who died in 2009.
