Hazel Fitzgerald

Hazel "Cathy" Fitzgerald, 65, of Loretto, passed away peacefully on March 26th, 2026 at Maury Regional Medical Center in Columbia, TN. 

Born on November 14th, 1960, in cocoa beach, Florida, Cathy was the daughter of late Stella Koshorek and late Blair Hein. She was known for her love, forgiveness, and light that she brought to anyone that encountered her. Cathy never failed to make someone's day by sharing her wisdom or humor. She cherished the time she had with her family while she was here on earth. Whether she was in the pool soaking up the sunshine, cooking, or shopping, Cathy found peace and love spent with her family. 

She is survived by her daughter Sarah Hein-McNeil; sister, Becky Sluder; special granddaughter, Arionna Wyatt; grandchildren Aramina Wyatt, David Wyatt, and Colby Butler; and great grandchildren, Greyson Dunn, Oliver Wyatt, and Whitney Wyatt. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by the love of her life, Anthony “Gus” Farris, daughter, Amelia Jane Wyatt, step-father, Michael Koshorek, and sister Charlotte Hein.
