Love from the Whitty family 🩷Fond memories of joining Nola and Kev with the family at the Labor Day tennis tournament in Tralagon. We were well looked after and Nola baked up a storm and occasionally the girls were allowed to join the production line! Many celebrations over the years but the week before Christmas was always a highlight with the “Fitzsimon clan” getting together for a catch up.. Love to Catherine, Julianne, Elizabeth, Andrew, Matthew, David, Michael and Paul as we join together to celebrate Nola’s life. Paula Rob Emily and Michael Howell

January 28, 2025Sending much love and condolences to the family. We had the pleasure of knowing Kevin and Nola for many years living just around the corner with sons, Michael and Craig at school together. I spent some beautiful quality time with Nola over the past few years and cherish those times – she was kind, caring, loving and devoted to her wonderful family, always a welcome with her lovely smile and a hug. Rest in peace Nola with your beloved Kevin who you missed so much

January 31, 2025Nola – my darling “Nellie”
January 31, 2025
We met as young teenagers in Stawell and became sisters. This was where we met and married our beloved young boys – Kevin and Jim.
We shared our lives and children together, mainly through our letters and photos.
I will miss your radiant smile my darling Nellie.
I will always remember our last words to each other as we waved goodbye –
“See you in Heaven Nellie”
“See you in Heaven Willie”
I remember whispering in Nola’s ear “Keep smiling my darling”. AND SHE DID.
Love always and forever

Russell, Mary, Madelyn, Isabella & James xxMy condolences to the Fitzsimon family. Nola and Kevin were a lovely warm couple. I knew Nola and Kevin mainly because of my daughter’s interest in music and study of piano. Whenever I met Nola she would talk of her children and how proud she was of them. They will miss her greatly.

Kate, Glen and Abbie SewellNola’s friendliness to everyone was always accompanied by her beautiful smile. She was a wonderful encourager to those associated with the Latrobe orchestra in which Kevin was leader for so many years. Kevin’s and Nola’s lives are now remembered together with high regard and appreciation.
February 1, 2025What a lovely couple Nola and Kevin made together. Nola was a gentle and kind strong lady. She was so very proud of her family and loved to share about them. Nola, being of such faith will be enjoying being with Kevin again. Sincere condolences to all of her loved ones… That lovely smile will remain with anyone who knew her, and I will never forget Kevin playing his violin in the orchestra with Nola watching with that smile. May God comfort you all in your sorrow…
February 1, 2025A beautiful lady, always with a smile on her face, my thoughts and love to all the Fitzsimon family.
