Madolin Adele Fitzgerald “Lin” passed away Sunday September 3, 2023.
Lin was born in Draper Utah on February 3, 1941 to Norman and Madolin Fitzgerald. Sister to Norman, Doris, Barbara, Barney, Betty Joan, Sandra, Cheryl, and Kim. Lin grew up in Draper and it bothered her how they had “ruined” it. She liked working on the farm and spent summers thinning sugar beets. She liked to explain about the tool she used and what sugar beets looked like. She started playing softball with the county rec at 15. Lin played second base for many years and was a loyal teammate. Lin worked for Salt Lake Water Department for 32 years serving as Sewer Service Administrator. Lin had many loves including Mexican food, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the East Millcreek 2nd Ward, her dogs Peaches and Rosie, fancy socks, cars, tomatoes, (planting, picking & canning) the TV show Heartland, the Nelson family campout, talking with the birds and squirrels in her yard, opera, musicals, and holidays.
She is survived by her best lady buddy Connie Nelson, sister Cheryl Alpuerto & many nieces and nephews.

Lin was a wonderful neighbor and friend. She was witty, kind hearted and a good friend to our family. I always enjoyed our many chats and the offer of a soft drink. We have missed both Lin and Connie in our neighborhood. Much love to our friend Connie and to Lin's family. We love you!
A beautiful service for a beautiful lady. My love and support to Connie, as she learns to be a "me" after so many years of “we and us.”
