The Honorable Mary C. FITZPATRICK

My mother, Mary Grant (Curran) and her brother Billy were were orphanrd, and taken in by mary's family at ages 10 and 1 years old. She grew up having Mary as a sister and best friend and were friends until my mother passed. Mary was a true angel on earth And will be dearly missed. Steve (Stevie)

Judge Fitzpatrick was a giant. There are countless women, like myself, whose opportunities exist because she paved the way. I am so grateful for her leadership, mentorship and kindness to me. I will never forget her.

Very sorry to hear of cousin Mary Fitz' death. She was a remarkable woman and a true legend in the family. May she rest in peace.

I was deeply saddened to hear that Judge Fitzpatrick passed away. I know that I am not speaking for myself when I say that she was a outstanding mentor to myself and fellow judges. She was one of a kind and I will always remember her. RIP in Judge Mary

This is a story about a woman who started at the bottom, a daughter of immigrants who smashed every glass ceiling she ever found and erected a staircase behind her for everyone else to climb. It's a "pull yourself up by your own bootstraps" story, a testament to a woman's hard work and incredible intellect. It's an incredible story. And if you ever met Mary "Fitz," it's a story she'd never tell you. The woman you would meet would be kind, gentle, soft spoken, and humble. You would never...

In addition to her cousins, Mary was blessed to have incredible care givers for many years. They were devoted to her to her final breath. There is no amount of gratitude for the loyalty and care these woman provided.
