Kelly Nevitt

With hearts broken and lives forever changed, we share the unimaginable loss of our beloved Kelly Nicole Nevitt, 15, who passed away leaving behind a world that was brighter because she was in it.

Born on September 18, 2009, in Newport, Rhode Island, Kelly was the cherished daughter and best friend of her mother, Sharon Nevitt. Their bond was inseparable - a friendship built on unconditional love, laughter, shared secrets, and endless support. To Sharon, Kelly was not only her daughter but her greatest joy, her light, and her heart.

Kelly was, in every way, extraordinary. She had a voice that could stop you in your tracks and a gift for performing that lit up the stage. Musical theater was her passion, and she shone in her favorite roles - the sassy Rizzo in Grease and the spirited Sister Mary Lazarus in Sister Act. Whether she was singing, dancing, or laughing with friends, Kelly's presence was magnetic.

She was known for her quick wit, big heart, and boundless compassion. She was the funniest, kindest, most loyal friend - the kind of person who made everyone feel welcome and important. She had a special way of lifting others up, always reminding people how much they meant to her.

Animals held a special place in her heart, especially her beloved cat, Diva and dog, Pearl, who were her constant companions and best furry friends.

Kelly leaves behind a legacy of love, laughter, music, and unmatched spirit. She is deeply mourned and endlessly missed by her mother, Sharon, her grandfather, Thomas Nevitt, her aunts and uncles, Thomas K. Nevitt, David and Luanne Nevitt, Tracy Nevitt, Bonnie and Brandon (Uncle Bam Bam) Brake, Peter and Danielle Nevitt, Paul and Amy Nevitt, Nancy and Randy Smith, James and Amanda Nevitt, Daniel and Kaitlin Nevitt, Janet McCarthy, Nick King and Auntie Friend. She will also be missed by her cousins, Zachary, Colin, Alexander, Mackenzie, Teaghan, Paige, Courtney, Kylie, Noah, Rian, Kelly and the countless lives she touched with her light. Kelly loved deeply and expressed that love often, especially to her close friends, who she valued more than words could say.

Kelly was predeceased by her grandmother, Ann-Marie Nevitt.

A Celebration of Kelly's life will be held on Monday, June 16, 2025, at 2:00 PM at Green Valley Country Club, 371 Union Street, Portsmouth, where friends and loved ones are invited to gather and honor the incredible life of a girl who gave us so much in such a short time.

In honor of Kelly's compassion and creativity, donations may be made in her memory to The Newport Children's Theater, https://www.newportchildrenstheatre.org/support - continuing the love she so freely gave.
