Carole Ann Fitzpatrick

Carole Ann Fitzpatrick, 72, passed away March 17, 2008.

She was born August 15, 1935, to Grace and Joseph Bolte in Cincinnati, OH. She graduated from Salpointe Catholic High School in Tucson, AZ, in 1953 and was married to Thomas P. Fitzpatrick on June 15, 1957.

Carole was an incredible woman whose greatest accomplishment was a loving and happy family. Together, she and Tom raised four children to be as giving and kind as she always was.

She returned to school the children were up and out, achieving an Associate of Arts degree in accounting. This she used to give back to her community by working for the Disabled Student Services Department at Palomar College.

Carole will always be best known for her bright and ready smile and her ability to bring light and laughter into every room with her. We grieve her passing and miss her terribly. See you in heaven, Mom.

We lost her to a long and hard-fought battle with Alzheimer’s disease, with help from Elizabeth Hospice in Fallbrook. Please consider a donation to either of these causes in her memory.

A viewing was held March 24 with vigil following at Berry-Bell & Hall Fallbrook Mortuary. A Funeral Mass was said at St. Peter’s Catholic Church on March 25 with interment at Riverside National Cemetery that afternoon.
