Paul John Alita
Jan 25, 1942 — Oct 2, 2026
Paul John Alita, 84, of Machesney Park, Illinois, passed away on October 2, 2026. Born in Alliance, Ohio, on January 25, 1942, Paul lived a life marked by faith, hard work, and generosity. He was baptized as one of Jehovah’s Witnesses in 1970 in Detroit, Michigan.
Paul retired from Chrysler after 30 years of faithful service. He loved spending time in his garage working on various projects. Whenever something needed fixing, he wouldn't hesitate to take it apart to get it working again, and he was always ready to repair a car or offer a helping hand to family and friends.
He is survived by his loving and devoted wife, Phyllis; his 5 children, John (Angela) Alita, Laurie Alita, Paul Jr. Alita, Daniel (Angie) Alita, and Suzanne (Donavan) Hazlett; his 5 grandchildren, Jake, Zach, Danielle, Hannah, and Alex; his 5 great-grandchildren; and his siblings, Joe (Catherine) Alita, Joyce (Walter) Paul, and Ben (Rosa) Alita. He was preceded in death by David Alita. Paul will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved him.
A memorial service will be held on Saturday, November 7, 2026, at 1:30 PM at the Kingdom Hall of Jehovah’s Witnesses in 9511 N. 2nd Street, Machesney Park, Illinois. Visitation will precede the service beginning at 12:30 PM.
