Patricia Ann Fry

September 5, 2018


Patricia Ann Ash Fry, 82, of Sarasota returned to her home with the Lord to join her youngest son Dan on September 5th, 2018.

She is survived by her loving husband, John Fry, having celebrated 59 years of marriage and was a loving mother to Kathy (Guy Stroczynski), Tom (Mary Hickey), Kevin (Julie DeSutter), Jackie (Chris Jernstrom), Chris (Kim Nyberg), Dan (Tina Roller), Jennifer (Wayne Downing) and Leslie (Chris VanTholen) as well as 17 grandchildren and 1 great grandchild.  She also leaves behind her sister Judy Ash Locher (George).

Born in Akron, OH on August 28, 1936, she was the eldest child of the late Ethel Schwenning Ash and Thomas (Tom) Ash.  Pat was very active in the communities that she lived in, including the Chicago area for over 30 years and Sarasota for over 24 years.  Nurturing others was intrinsic to her nature which could be witnessed in her career as a Registered Nurse for over 40 years.  She went above and beyond for those in need, a mother figure to many, always putting herself last.  She loved spending quality time with family and friends, traveling, reading, volunteering, as well as poodles and horses.  Pat will be missed more than words can express and has left her mark in the lives of those who were blessed to join in her life’s journey.

A Memorial Visitation will be held 5:00 P.M. to 7:00 P.M. Friday, September 14, 2018 at Brown & Sons Funeral Homes & Crematory, 26th Street Chapel, 5624 26th Street West, Bradenton, FL 34207.  A Funeral Mass will take place   10:00 A.M. Saturday, September 15, 2018 at Our Lady Queen of Martyrs Catholic Church, 833 Magellan Drive, Sarasota, FL 34243 https://olqm.net Condolences may be made to: www.brownandsonsfuneral.com
