FITZPATRICK, Mary Patricia (May) (nee LARKIN) - It is with great sadness that we announce that May Fitzpatrick joined her beloved husband Páid in eternal rest on August 6, 2021.
Matriarch of a close and extended family both in Toronto, Canada, and in Dublin, Ireland.
Loving mother to Joseph Fitzpatrick (Pamela); Carmel Fitzpatrick; Deirdre Fitzpatrick (Brian Heasman); Maureen Fitzpatrick (Nick Von Meyer); Patricia Landry (Charles); and Sean Fitzpatrick (Kathy). Predeceased by the love of her life, Patrick (Páid) Fitzpatrick.
Adoring grandmother to Conor and Morgan Fitzpatrick; Kevin, Colleen and Adrian Turlo; Paul, Micheline, Mary and Monique Wery; Sean Heasman; Ailis, Rory and Sarica Von Meyer; Cateline, Austin and Cameron Landry; and Eamon and Keeva Fitzpatrick.
She will be sadly missed by her great-grandchildren: Lochlan and Max Turlo; and Fynn and Ava Greene. Although her best friends have predeceased her (Jimmy and Carmel Dooley, Ethna and Con Carroll), their families have always been an integral part of our family and all the Carrolls and Dooleys will be bereft at the loss of their dearest Aunt May. "Back home" in Ireland, May leaves many Larkins and Fitzpatricks grieving throughout Ireland.
The parish of St. John's Catholic Church will miss a dedicated member, attendant and contributor to all their good works. May was a strong, independent and devoted Catholic mother, who always put her children first.
She left her home and family in Dublin in 1957 to make a better life for her children, joining Páid with two babies (Joseph and Carmel) in her arms and no wealth to speak of.
They created a loving life and saw all their children educated and on to successful careers. She was a loyal and loving friend, with a great compassion for anyone in need.
Thank you to the staff at Providence Health Care for your warm compassion.
Visitation will take place on August 10, 2021, from 3-7 p.m. at Pine Hills Cemetery and Funeral Centre, 625 Birchmount Rd. Please be advised there will be Covid restrictions in place, limiting the number of visitors at a time, please RSVP.
