Annamae Fitzpatrick, raised 8 kids, including celebrated artist - Chicago Sun-Times

Mae Fitzpatrick.“If we were nervous about doing something, she’d say, ‘Just do it!’ ’’ said her daughter, Jean Waldron.Mrs. Fitzpatrick, 91, died Tuesday at Elmhurst Hospital, surrounded by nearly 40 members of her family. Her only regret, daughter Annemarie said, was that she wouldn’t live to see all the achievements of her grandchildren and four great-grandchildren.Annamae Fitzpatrick.Occasionally, when people learned she had eight kids, they’d make a crack like, “Didn’t you have a TV?”“She found that crass and undignified,” said another daughter, Therese.Ever elegant, she’d respond: “Can I help that I am irresistible?”Mrs. Fitzpatrick had the irreverent wit celebrated by the Irish — smart, playful, knowing. And she was always well-coiffed, due to determined effort and a weekly beauty appointment. “I was born a redhead,” she’d say, “and I’m going to die a redhead.”She stood 5-feet-10 thanks to what her children said were widely acknowledged as “the best legs on the West Side.”Young Annamae grew up in the “the Island” — where Chicago, Cicero and Oak Park meet near Roosevelt Road and Austin Boulevard. All her life, she stayed close with friends she made at St. Frances of Rome grade school and Siena High School.On her 18th birthday, she received a congratulatory phone call from James Fitzpatrick, who’d been born within hours of her at the same hospital, St. Anthony’s on the West Side. Their moms had become friends during their three-week-long postpartum hospital stays in the era before managed care, when a long stay wasn’t uncommon after giving birth. He wanted to ask her out before enlisting in the Navy during World War II. She liked to say he fell “head over heels” for her.Before they got married in 1948, she studied journalism at Northwestern University on scholarship. Mrs. Fitzpatrick also wrote for Bakers’ Helper magazine until the kids arrived, said another daughter, Maryann Brown. Later, she worked as an administrative assistant at a real estate office.The Fitzpatricks bought a home in Lombard on the GI Bill, and her husband started work as an embalmer. In 1965, at 40, he suffered a heart attack. Pregnant with their eighth child, she jokingly pleaded with James Fitzpatrick: “Do not take the coward’s way out.” He recovered and lived another 33 years.His career flourished after he switched from embalming to selling burial vaults, said their son, Kevin. It probably helped that he used to ply clients with loaves of Mrs. Fitzpatrick’s homemade white, date-nut, cinnamon-raisin and Irish soda bread.Countless times, her kids say, she had them deliver bread, brownies and dinner to neighbors experiencing sorrow and sickness.
