Irene Adelheid (Burgess) Fitzpatrick

Irene Adelheid (Burgess) Fitzpatrick of Bristol passed away Wednesday, April 1 at Jefferson Hospital in Bucks County.  She was 67 years old and born in Oberammergau, Germany.  Irene spent much of her youth in Levittown, moving to Bristol, where she spent the last ten years befriending many in her neighborhood.  She always had a smile on her face and warmth in her heart.  She spent much of her life caring for others, and her compassion helped soothe the scrapes and bruises of many kids and comforted her late mother, Hedwig, late sister, Yvonne, late husband, Brent, and late brother, Charles, through trying times and serious illnesses. 

Irene is survived by her son, Lief, his wife, Stephanie, & their children, Lennon and Rio; her daughter, Thybet, and her husband, Albert; her son, Niles, and his wife, Brittany, & their son Julian; her children, Ashley, Phoenix, Brooke, Kieren, and Peyton; her brothers, Garret & Howard; her sisters, Viola & Wynitia; and an extended family that reaches far and wide. We are saddened by the loss of such a cheerful, vivacious, and loving sister, mother, and Omie.

PWe recognize the challenges to travel and congregate in these unprecedented times, meanwhile we understand that her many friends and relatives wish to share their blessings and celebrate the life that she shared with everyone.  We invite everyone to attend her memorial service, which will be announced at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, please consider monetary gifts or volunteering your time at Big Brothers Big Sisters or a nursing home, providing care and comfort for children and the elderly.
