Ava Elaine Fitzgerald

It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved daughter, Ava Elaine Fitzgerald, who left us too soon on September 8, 2024 at the age of eighteen. Ava was a shining light in our lives, known for her unwavering commitment to helping others, even amidst her own struggles.

Ava had an extraordinary gift for empathy and kindness and her priority was always to ensure that those around her felt cared for and supported. Her nurturing spirit and genuine heart made her a cherished friend to many.

Ava loved family traditions, especially Sunday dinners. Back in the day, she was always center stage, cracking a joke or trying to get a laugh out of someone.

As we navigate this profound loss, we invite those who loved Ava to remember her not for her struggles, but for the joy she brought to our lives and the lives of others. In honor of her memory, we encourage everyone to continue her passion for helping those in need, fostering the same spirit of kindness that she embodied.

Ava is survived by her loving family, her parents, Matthew and Lindsay (Sheeler) Fitzgerald, Smithfield, NB; her sister Sophie Fitzgerald, Fredericton, NB; her nephew Phoenix, Fredericton, NB; her maternal grandmother Virginia Sheeler (Winston), Harvey, NB; her paternal grandmother Geraldine Aubin (Daniel), Montreal, QC; several aunts, uncles, cousins and her cat Kush, who will forever treasure her memory and the light she brought into the world. In our hearts, she will remain forever young, a guiding star illuminating our path with love.

She was predeceased by her maternal grandfather Wayne Sheeler and her paternal grandfather James Fitzgerald.

Rest in peace, dear Ava. You will always be our angel.

Friends are invited to attend a Celebration of Ava’s Life on Sunday, September 15, 2024 at the Harvey Lions Club, 4722 Route 640, Harvey, NB from 2 to 6 pm.

For those who wish to make a donation in memory of Ava, the family has suggested Chrysalis House, 50 Morrison Street, Fredericton, NB E3A 4M3.
