Mrs. Theresa Fitzpatrick Dodson's Obituary
Celebrating the Life of Theresa Fitzpatrick Dodson
Theresa came into this world on November 13th 1934, in Cavan Village, County Cavan, Ireland. She blessed the lives of her parents Joseph Fitzpatrick and Mary Ann Brown Fitzpatrick. Joseph and Mary Ann, proudly sent their daughter Theresa to St. Joseph Catholic School, in Cavan, Ireland.
On September 22, 1956, in England, Theresa married the love of her life, Harold E. Dodson and the two were blessed with five children, Myrtle Ann, Linda, Theresa, Mickael, and Colleen and they had a very happy life.
Theresa was a truly devout Catholic, and was a proud member of Our Lady of Fatima Catholic Church, in Galena Park, TX. She had a deep faith in God’s power in her life.
While Theresa was known to be completely devoted to her children, and the most important events in her life, after marriage, were all the births of her children, grandchildren and great grandchildren…Theresa always made time for her friends. One special friend in particular, was her longtime friend from Norfolk, England, Janet Richardson.
Some of Theresa’s hobbies were reading, shopping at thrift stores, watching shows like Wheel of fortune, Downton Abbey, Big Brother, and Survivor…but all those fell second to spending quality time with her family.
Sadly, Theresa Fitzpatrick Dodson, was called to heaven on Friday, September 11, 2015. She is preceded in death by her husband Harold Dodson, Daughter Myrtle Ann Dodson, Granddaughter Tiffany Parker Horne, Parents Joseph and Mary Ann Fitzpatrick, siblings and in-laws Joseph Fitzpatrick Jr., Bridget Fitzpatrick, Charles and Nina Fitzpatrick, Michael and Nellie Fitzpatrick, Anna May and Arthur Nailor, John and Teresa Fitzpatrick, Elizabeth and Louis Lopez, James Fitzpatrick, and Alice and James Glancy.
