Kim Fitzhenry Obituary
Kim A. LaFace Fitzhenry, 63, passed away peacefully on November 28th surrounded by love. Her life was defined by kindness, resilience, and an unwavering love for her family.
Cherished and loving mother of Michael (Samantha) Fitzhenry Jr., and Matthew Fitzhenry, who cared for her tirelessly, reflecting the deep and extraordinary bond they shared. Loving Nana to her beloved grandson Nicholas "Nicky" Fitzhenry whom she adored beyond measure and whose happiness was the greatest joy of her life. Sister of Patricia (Joe) Ball, Donna (Mike) Rutkowski, Nicki (Mark) Fuhs, and the late Charles LaFace and Ricky LaFace. Aunt and great aunt to many nieces and nephews. She is survived by her husband, Michael Fitzhenry, who was with her through her final days and provided much needed support.
She was the quiet strength in our storms, a guiding light whose love and kindness shaped each of us. A light that never dimmed, and though she has left this world, her spirit shines in every corner of our lives—steady, enduring, and full of life. In every joyful moment and every shared smile, this light shines on, illuminating our lives with the love she gave.
