Obituary published on Legacy.com by Sunset Funeral & Cremation Services and Cemetery - North Olmsted on Mar. 11, 2026.
Hildreth Ann Fitzpatrick, age 86, of Strongsville, Ohio, passed away peacefully on March 7, 2026, surrounded by her loving family. Born on October 5, 1939, she was the daughter of the late Arnold and Elizabeth Manuel.

Hildreth was preceded in death by her beloved husband, Dale Fitzpatrick, with whom she shared 59 wonderful years of marriage. Their life together was filled with devotion, partnership, and a deep love for family and faith.

She is survived by her cherished children: D. Brent Fitzpatrick, Jr., Cheryl (the late David) de Koning, and Heather (Eric) Liss. She was a proud and loving grandmother to Gabrielle (Jeromy) Bryk, Morgan Liss, and Ryan Liss, each of whom brought immense joy to her life.

Hildreth faithfully served the Lord and walked confidently in her faith throughout her life. She was a dedicated member of Strongsville United Methodist Church, where she formed lasting friendships and found great purpose through fellowship and service.

Hildreth was also a gifted and passionate seamstress. She poured her heart into her craft-creating beautiful dolls, handmade gifts, and countless charitable projects through her sewing. Her kindness and generosity were felt by many, both within her family and throughout the community.

Her family will receive friends at Strongsville United Methodist Church, 13500 Royalton Rd, Strongsville, Ohio 44136 on Saturday, March 14, 2026 from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. with Celebration of Life at 11:00 a.m.
