Obituary for Elizabeth Kyle Sclafani Elizabeth (“Betty”) Kyle Sclafani, our happy-go-lucky, jokester, advisor, loving mother, Godmother, Maw-Maw, and friend, passed away on Tuesday, July 17, 2018 in Covington, LA at the age of 83. She was born on May 2, 1935 in Memphis, TN to the late Hiram Kyle and Mary Katherine Kelly Kyle. The youngest of seven (7) children, she was preceded in death by her brothers Hiram, John, Charles, William, and Robert (“Bob”), and her sister Mary Alice.
Betty was married first to Harold Smith who predeceased her, and then to her partner-in-crime, the late Salvador (“Sal”) Sclafani, who also predeceased her. Quick with a joke and a smile, Betty was one-of-kind and a friend to all. She loved spending time with her family, playing pranks, dressing up for Mardi Gras, playing cards, watching the Saints (and running football pools), Elvis, Memphis barbecue, enjoying a Budweiser “on the rocks”, watching “Raymond”, and spending time with her friends at the Roquette Lodge.
Summarizing Betty in a few paragraphs is impossible—but those fortunate enough to have shared time with her will carry her spirit with them forever. Betty is survived by her children, daughter Pamela Smith Croll, son Kyle Salvador Sclafani, step-daughter Anita Marie Sclafani, son-in-law Donald Croll, and daughter-in-law Julie Garvey Sclafani. Elizabeth was the proud grandmother of Tiffany Croll Hartman (Ryan Hartman), Brett Croll, Katie Croll Wright (Travis Wright), Salvador Michael Sclafani, Jude Kyle Sclafani, Lyla June Sclafani, and Great-Grandmother to Gianna (“Gigi”) Avery Hartman.
