Krista Marie Morello passed away on Saturday, October 26, 2024. A lifetime resident of Holmdel New Jersey, Krista was an avid athlete who excelled in soccer, field hockey, ice hockey and lacrosse.

After finishing high school, Krista attended John Jay College for two years before enlisting in the US Air Force in 2013. Krista served as a Munitions Specialist at Eglin Air Base in Florida, Osan Air Base South Korea, and Camp Darby in Livorno Italy during her 10-year career, while finishing her BS degree in Mathematics at Southern New Hampshire University.

Krista retired to Naples Florida, where she was embraced by the community of Veronawalk while learning to play pickleball.

She will always be remembered for her beautiful smile and infectious enthusiasm. Always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone in need, her greatest attribute and an important part of who she was, was her unmistakable love of her family.

We love you to the moon and back honey…today and forever…..
