Mrs. Fitchett retired from CVS in North Judson in 2008 where she had made her career as a pharmacy technician. She and her husband enjoyed traveling when they were able. She was a devoted Christian woman and member of the St. Paul Lutheran Church in Denham. Her faith led her to sobriety in 1991, and over the years she proudly sponsored others who struggled with alcohol addiction. She enjoyed spending time with her friends, especially weekly Bible study. She loved her family very much, especially spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren. She will be sadly missed by all who knew and loved her.
