Patricia Ann Carusone, beloved wife, mother and grandmother, passed away on January 22, 2025, in Pittsburgh, PA at the age of 82. She was surrounded by her children. Pat was born in Philadelphia, PA on December 12, 1942, to Rosemary and Edward Fitzgerald. She was raised in Fairfield, CT, and married for 52 years to Richard Carusone, who died in 2019.

A natural beauty, she was voted "Miss Fairfield" as a young woman.

Before marrying, she was a stewardess for American Airlines, and she later had a successful career in real estate.
