Wendy Fitzpatrick

Wendy Lou (Bernard) Fitzpatrick, 65, of West Wardsboro, Vermont, passed away at her home on November 3, 2025, after a brief battle with cancer.

Born in Palmer, Massachusetts, on March 12, 1960, she was the beloved daughter of Laura (Jones) Brissette and the late Raymond Bernard.

Wendy had a remarkable green thumb and a deep love for the outdoors. She found joy in gardening, nature, mushroom foraging, and expressing her creativity through drawing.

She is survived by her children, Heather Gabert, Mindy Fitzpatrick, Heath Fitzpatrick, and Mikki Fitzpatrick; her mother, Laura Brissette; her sister, Melissa Fitzpatrick; and her brothers, Michael and Paul Bernard. She was the proud grandmother of 12 grandchildren and a great-grandmother of 5. She was preceded in death by her longtime partner, Todd Brooks.

Wendy will be remembered for her humor, kindness, creativity, love of nature, and as the familiar face to the community during her time at the West Wardsboro Store. A final "talk at ya later" and remembrance will be held at the Stratton town hall on November 30th, 2025, at 10:00 AM
