Her father was one of the first directors of the 'Catholic Press.' Her brother, the late Father John Fitzpatrick, was a popular Australian priest, who died in 1912.

Miss Fitzpatrick inherited her parents ardent love of faith and fatherland, and during the whole course of her life, until her last illness, she had never been absent from Sunday Mass. During Eucharistie Congress week she was present at 27 Masses one morning, having attended both St. Mary's Cathedral and St. Patrick's to do so.

Gentleness and self sacrifice were part of her very nature, and she seemed to bring happiness wherever she epecially beloved. Her charity and her compassion for the sufferings and trials of others knew no bounds, and her deep humility and extreme kindness of heart were remarkable.

Tenderly and devotedly nursed by the Sisters of the Little Company of Mary in her last illness, and fortified by the Last Sacraments, her soul returned to its Creator on the 26th ult. The beauty and nobility of her life will indeed be an inspiration to those who mourn her passing. A Requiem. Mass was celebrated at St. Charles's, Ryde, on the 28th ult.,. by Rev. Faer Pierse. The funeral took place the same morning to Rookwood Cemetery.
