Ruby was one of my greatest supporters when I started the Newsletters and Reunions. She even attended a few reunions! She sent me a note yearly to report on her family. She was a feisty and sassy lady. She was just the cutest little lady. I will remember her always and smile. Gloria Campbell Gallagher '65

Ruby Fitzpatrick was a very dear Neighborhood friend. My life changed when I met her , all for the BEST. I met her and her husband Bill, 23 years ago as they were retiring and enjoying the best years of their lives. When you made friends with them, they considered you friends for life. I will miss her and will never forget all the joy she brought to me and everyone she met. She was caring, classy, generous, clever, wise, and had the best sense of humor! How we laughed, many times on her front porch while watching the world go by. We shared our lives together,as dear friends, and my family will never forget her and her family. Her sons, and their wives, and children, grand, and great grand children will carry on the legacy which she started as a family of great Fitzpatrick integrity. Rest in Peace Ruby, my BFF!
