| Obituary- Fitzgerald, Angela Angela Fitzgerald
Angela E. Fitzgerald Angela Elizabeth Fitzgerald, 82, Topeka, passed away Monday, December 12, 2016 at the House at Midland Care. Angela was born August 19, 1934, in Brooklyn, New York, the daughter of Frank and Helen Dugan Maniscalco. Her mother died when Angela was only five and her step-mother Frances reared her. Angela came to Kansas to attend nursing school at Fort Scott. She then moved to Hutchinson where she met her future husband, John Jack Fitzgerald. They married on December 28, 1957, in Holy Cross Church in Hutchinson. The family moved to Topeka in 1966. After 51 year of marriage, Jack passed away November 24, 2009. Angela devoted her life to the care of others, nursing first at St. Elizabeth Hospital in Hutchinson, and then St. Francis Hospital and the Santa Fe Hospital in Topeka, retiring in 1998 after more than 40 years of service. She liked to knit and crochet, making many items for the needy in our community. She loved to shop especially with her grandchildren who were the light of her life. She knew what was special and important to each of them. Angela was a member of Mother Teresa of Calcutta Catholic Church. She loved her Catholic faith and was always true to it. She also remained true to her Brooklyn Dodgers. She leaves to cherish her memory her children, Patricia Fitzgerald, John Fitzgerald (Jeanne), Michael Fitzgerald (Sherry), James Fitzgerald; 14 grandchildren and 14 great-grandchildren, her siblings, Margaret, Ann and Msgr. Francis Maniscalco; and brother-in-law, Edward Fitzgerald (Patricia). She was also preceded in death by her parents and step-mother. Family will greet friends from 5 to 7 p.m. Thursday at Mother Teresa of Calcutta Church, 2014 NW 46th Street, Topeka KS 66618, where a rosary will be prayed at 7 p.m. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. Friday at the Church. Burial will follow in Mount Calvary Cemetery. The Fitzgerald family thanks the staff at Midland Hospice Care and Rossville Healthcare and Rehabilitation Center for the wonderful care Angela received. In lieu of flowers, please consider a memorial contribution to either of these excellent facilities, sent in care of Kevin Brennan Family Funeral Home, 2801 SW Urish Road, Topeka KS 66614.
