Patti Ann Fitzpatrick Obituary (1962 - 2024)

In loving memory of Patti Ann Fitzpatrick (Spaeth), age 62, the most beautiful soul inside and out, who left behind a legacy of compassion, generosity, and unconditional love. After a five-year battle with cancer, our warrior left this world peacefully surrounded by family, prayer, and love. Patti truly cherished all the little moments or “glimmers” in life, such as walks with friends, an intense game of Rummikub, pontoon rides with a cold IPA, cheering on the Vegas Golden Knights, or her favorite–a strong cup of coffee in the morning. Together with her soulmate John, she built a life filled with laughter, adventure, and lasting friendships. Their bond is a testament to love’s enduring strength, which is the foundation of their family of three daughters Shannon, Kelly, and Erin. To them, Patti was more than a mother, she was their rock and best friend. Patti’s commitment to her faith and helping others was instilled by her parents Roberta and the late Patrick Spaeth. She treasured the meaningful connections she had with her siblings Tim Spaeth, Terry Zoller, Jean Kainz, Peggy Glad, and Maria Vileta, as well as her many wonderful nieces and nephews. Throughout her lifetime, Patti touched the hearts of so many as a grief counselor, hospice chaplain, and volunteer with El Nino Rey and Camp Erin. She was a bright light to everyone she met, and a true friend to an amazing group of people who loved to make her smile. In lieu of flowers, the family requests any donations be made to The American Cancer Society or Nathan Adelson Hospice. They also ask that you enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend in Patti’s honor. John, Shannon, Kelly, and Erin are overwhelmed by the love and support they have received throughout this challenging journey and would like to express their sincere gratitude to all their friends and family.
