Dear Tom, Tommy, Kevin, and Family,
I am so very sorry about Lee Ann's passing. I taught first grade with her for several years at Cassidy, and we spent a lot of time together planning, team teaching, and just talking. Lee Ann was a wonderful teacher and caring person. I learned so much from her and really enjoyed being around her. I can still remember when she'd come into my classroom drinking her tea to get the day started. She always talked about you all and it was obvious her family meant everything to her. She will be greatly missed by everyone who knew her. I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

Tom and family,
I am so sorry to read about Lee Ann. I taught with her during her Cassidy years. She was a very hardworking and caring teacher. I substituted for her after I retired and was astounded by her daily routine at school which was totally consumed by instructing individuals or small groups during EVERY free moment! She will be missed by many of us who had the pleasure of working with her.

I mainly knew Lee Ann through her mother. She was a good daughter who called her mother every day to check on her when her mother was elderly. Also I saw Lee Ann and Tom every Sunday at THUMC. Mary Richey

I was saddened to read of the passing of Lee Ann Fitzpatrick. Mrs. Fitzpatrick was such a wonderful teacher and role model for her students . I had the pleasure of meeting Mrs. Fitzpatrick while working with student teachers at the University of Kentucky. Her love of learning will continue with all the students that she has taught.
May God bless you and your family during this time and always,

Was so sorry to open my paper today and read about LeeAnn. We grew up together in Silver Grove. Was glad she came to the school reunion last summer and met with old friends. She will be sadly missed, but I know she is back with her father and mother in heaven.
