Pat Fitzsimons (nee Stanfill)

Fitzsimons, Pat (nee Stanfill), age 93, passed away, Sunday, December 22, 2019.  She was the beloved wife of Frank Thomas Fitzsimons, who preceded her in death in 1982; dear mother of Dennis (Pam) Fitzsimons, Doris (Bob) Cook, and Don (Carolyn) Fitzsimons; loving grandmother of Brian (Teri) Cook, Lindsay (Mike) Arwood, Christy (Zach) Placzek, Elizabeth Knowles, and Meredith Fitzsimons; precious great-grandmother of Ryan, Oscar, Daphne, Millicent, Hunter, Adeline,  Emily and Benjamin, Fin and Granger.  Pat was preceded in death by her husband, parents Luther and Elizabeth Stanfill, two brothers and 4 sisters.

Pat (“Gigi”) drew strength from her faith; which, in turn, inspired everyone she met to live life to the fullest and to love and enjoy others unconditionally. She filled the lives of her loved ones with games, Christmas carols, and light-up sweaters. She literally LIVED for Christmas and LOVED everything about it! “Gigi’s” lifelong wish was for everyone around her to be filled with laughter...and for squirrels eating her birdseed to become extinct.
