Susan Elizabeth Fitzpatrick, age 69, of James Store, born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, passed peacefully at home on Oct. 20, 2018 while surrounded by all that she loved.

She was the adored wife of Edward J. Fitzpatrick for 48 years; caring mother to her two daughters, Shanon Beam (Brad) and Erin Fitzpatrick, and beloved grandmother of Maggie Beam.  

Sue enjoyed her home, her family, her fuzzy four-legged friends, and her hometown team, the Pittsburgh Steelers.  

A private memorial will be scheduled in the spring.  

The family would like to thank the staff of Riverside Walter Reed Hospital, Riverside Home Health, Riverside Hospice and Gloucester Volunteer Fire and Rescue Squad.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions to be made to the Gloucester-Mathews Humane Society, P.O. Box 385, Gloucester, Va. 23061, gmhumanesociety.org.
