She was born in Whitehall, WI on March 10, 1935 and went to Whitehall High School.  She came to Saint Louis along with her sister Linda and worked near the Fox Theatre and Saint Louis University. She married John Fitzgerald (Jack) , and they moved to Florissant, MO where she went to work as a waitress at the Officer’s Club near Lambert Airport for her friends, Bill and Maxine Jordan. When this closed,  she worked at Jordan’s restaurant until her retirement. She then helped to care for her grandchildren while they were young.  She was a wonderful person who dedicated all her time and effort at caring lovingly for her children and grandchildren. She loved to travel, to sew, cross-stitch , and do crafts of any sort. She also liked to gamble at the boat and play cards. She liked watching TV like Raymond and Jeopardy, old movies, and she was a great cook. Also, at Christmas she made loads of cookies which she doled out in boxes. She had compassion for everyone, often to tears, even when she didn’t know them, and would lend a helping hand anytime. Her faith was very important to her as well, and she lived as such.
