Annabelle M. (Ploof) Fitzpatrick, 79, a resident of Medway for 60 years, died Saturday, December 18, 2010 at Milford Regional Medical Center. She was the loving wife of Charles L. Fitzpatrick who died in 1995.
Born in Richford, Vermont on January 8, 1931, she was a daughter of the late Arthur and Nellie (Tetreault) Ploof.
Annabelle graduated from St. Mary’s High School in Milford and worked at Kendall Mills in Walpole and Medfield State Hospital for many years until her retirement.
She liked to be outdoors and could often be found walking the trails in the town park listening to Josh Groban. She loved fishing, hunting with her sons and sitting by a warm fire. She was an avid reader and enjoyed crocheting, and going to the movies. And don’t ever interrupt her when the PATS are playing!
