DR. TERRY EUGENE

FITZPATRICK

Lynnville

Memorial graveside services will be held at the St. Andrews Cemetery west of Sully, Iowa at 11 a.m. Saturday, January 23, 2010 for Dr. Terry Eugene Fitzpatrick, age 74, the son of Theodore Herschel and Frances Margaret (Blair) Fitzpatrick. He was born February 16, 1935 at Van Wert, Iowa and passed away on Tuesday, January 19, 2010 at Mercy Hospital Medical Center in Des Moines, Iowa.

Terry was raised on a farm near Van Wert. He started school in Weldon, Iowa and later moved to Des Moines, Iowa where he graduated from Roosevelt High School. He attended Iowa State College and graduated from their veterinary school in 1959. He married Nancy Lee Halverson on December 22, 1957 at Osage, Iowa. They were blessed with two sons, Shawn and Brian.

Doc, as he liked to be called, worked for seven months in New Sharon, Iowa for Dr. B.J. Sinkler before moving to Lynnville, Iowa and setting up his own veterinary practice. In 1974 he became the breed secretary for the North American South Devon Association. In the 1970's and the 1980's he worked as a part time cattle evaluation expert for the United States Treasury Department. In January 1993 he went to work for the United States Department of Agriculture Food Safety Inspection Service. In April 1995 he became a relief veterinarian for Iowa and parts of Minnesota. He served as inspector in charge of 34 meat packing plants. In February 2001 he accepted the first of several 2-year term positions with the USDA Animal Plant Health Inspection service and served in this role until his death.

Terry was baptized and confirmed into the Lutheran Church after his marriage. In his free time he enjoyed his farm on which he returned the land to native prairie grass and raised cattle and horses. He and Nancy rode in the WHO Tractor Rides for 13 years. He also loved driving his new Foton tractor.

Preceding him in death were his parents, Herschel & Frances Fitzpatrick.

Survivors include his wife Nancy Fitzpatrick of Lynnville; sons, Shawn and Jenny Fitzpatrick and children, Connor and Cameron of Coralville, Iowa and Brian and Sherry Fitzpatrick and children, Kevin, Trevor, Annie, and Maggie of Albia, Iowa; half sisters, Evelyn and Ozzie Osburn of Kansas City, Missouri, Naomi and Gene Jackson of Braymer, Missouri, and Nida and Don White of Des Moines; half brother Mike and Darlene Fitzpatrick of Minneapolis, Minnesota; and other relatives and many friends.
