Obituary for Kristin Lea Ortolani

Kristin Ortolani, 44, of Vernon, passed away on June 14 after her long and courageous battle with cancer.

She was born in Coventry on October 5, 1977, and after graduating Coventry High School in 1995, went on to study at Eastern Connecticut State University.

Kristin was a first grade teacher at Ellen P. Hubbell Elementary School in Bristol for over 20 years.

In her free time, she enjoyed spending time with her daughters, family, friends, and dog, Chase. She loved teaching, arts and crafts – especially puzzles, flamingos and unicorns, Starbucks, the beach, gardening, and anything pink. Kristin loved getting new manicures, always showing up with different fun and vibrant colors each time.

Kristin is survived by her two daughters, Katelyn Ortolani and Elisa Ortolani; her mother, Doris Anne Levanduski; and three brothers, Roger Levanduski with his wife, Jennifer Levanduski, daughter, Brayden, and son Blake, Craig Levanduski with his wife, Melissa Levanduski, and son Tyler, and Steven Levanduski. Kristin was predeceased by her father, Michael Levanduski.
