Carole Ann Fitzpatrick, 72 FALLBROOK -- Carole Ann Fitzpatrick, 72, passed away Monday, March 17, She was born Aug. 15, 1935, to Grace and Joseph Bolte, in Cincinnati, Ohio. She graduated from Salpointe Catholic High School in Tucson, Ariz. in 1953. She 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 after their children were grown, achieving an Associate of Arts degree in Accounting. This she used to give back to her community by working for the Disabled Student Services Dept. at Palomar College.
