Patsy Bomar Fitzgerald (Tulia)

Silverton, Texas—Patsy Bomar Fitzgerald, 82, walked into the loving arms of her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Tuesday, August 4, 2020. The much loved second child of Lee D. Bomar and Jessie Morton Bomar, Patsy was born August 23, 1937 in Tulia, Texas. Growing up on the family farm she loved dearly, she attended and graduated from Silverton High School, a proud member of the Class of 1955. Pat, as she preferred to be called, married the love of her life Guinn Fitzgerald on December 8, 1956 and from 1957 to 1968 they brought four beautiful daughters into their world.  Though a full time mother and farmer’s wife, she still was determined to get her college degree. Pat began her almost daily commute to West Texas State University in 1977 and graduated with a Bachelor of Education degree in 1981. She then began a 20 year teaching career as a Special Education teacher at Silverton High School where she was a positive influence for many of her student’s lives.

Pat was a dedicated and faithful member of First Baptist Church Silverton her entire life and served on many committees including the funeral committee and the finance committee. She also volunteered for Meals on Wheels.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic the family will have a “private family only” graveside service on Thursday, August 6, 2020 at 10:00 am at the Silverton Cemetery.  A Celebration of Life Memorial Service will be held at a later time that has yet to be determined. Arrangements are under the care of Kornerstone Funeral Directors of Tulia. Public viewing will be held from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm Wednesday, August 5, 2020 at the funeral home in Tulia.
