Patricia Louise Fry, 76, passed away Wednesday, June 28th, 2023. Pat most recently was a resident of Traverse City.
Pat was born on June 14, 1947 in Detroit, MI to John and Anna (Jones) Fry. She attended college at Eastern Michigan University and graduated with a bachelor's degree in education. She continued to live and work in Detroit until moving to New York City where she worked at Committee of Interns and Residents as their union organizer. Over the decades Pat worked tirelessly for peace and justice fighting to make this world a better place, in any way she could. So many folks whose lives she touched will sorely miss Pat.
