It is with the greatest sorrow we announce the passing of Judy Brooks Richards Fitzpatrick, 77 of Wethersfield Connecticut after a brief, but heroic battle with brain cancer. Born in Cleveland Ohio on January 11, 1933, she was the daughter of the late Wilfred Anderson Richards and Julia (Callender) Richards. She was the wife of the late Richard David Fitzpatrick of Wethersfield CT. Judy was member of Wethersfield High School class (1951) and a graduate of Willimantic State Teachers College (Eastern Connecticut State University), University of Hartford, and the Gesell Institute of Human Development at Yale University. After completing her graduate studies, Judy went on to teach for the Wethersfield Public School system and the Hartford Arch Diocese at Corpus Christi School in Wethersfield. A consummate educator, she helped shape children's lives for over 40 years until diagnosed with brain cancer in May of 2010. Her love of travel during the summer months took her through most of the United States, Europe, Central America, and the Caribbean. When not traveling, Judy could be found enjoying her passion for gardening. Judy was a member of the First Church of Christ (Congregational) in Old Wethersfield where she taught Sunday school for many years. She is survived by her son, Montgomery Anderson Fitzpatrick, daughter-in-law, Julie Ann (Sheldon) Fitzpatrick, her sister Wilfred-Ann (Richards) Harper, and many nieces and nephews.
