Image of Dorothy Elizabeth Kearns<\/p>\n

“Dot” was born Aug 9 1922 in Mobile and died Nov 19 1968 in Mobile. She married Robert Fitzpatrick October 11 about 1940 (I don’t have a firm date). He was born March 20 1919 and died July 19 1969 in Mobile<\/p>\n

Jack Kearns sent along in 2000 some information from Thomas written by Robert:<\/p>\n

\nDaddy was in the Army and returned in 1945. He worked in the Mobile
\nshipyards until the early 1950’s when he started at the Mobile Post office.
\nHe had several jobs there, sorting mail, window etc. He loved television
\nand I remember that we were one of the first in our neighborhood to get
\none. He liked to go to auctions and buy old run down cars. He would then
\nwork on them, fix them up and then sell them. I remember going through the
\nBankhead Tunnel on the way to visit his mother in Foley riding in an old
\nMercury we called “Chug Chug”. We never knew if it would make it up the
\nincline leaving the tunnel! He also liked the Dog Races, country music and
\nGerman music (particularly tubas).<\/p>\n

Momma worked at Gayfers (Springdale Plaza) from the late 1960’s to 1978.
\nShe did spend some time at the downtown store…her hobbies were gardening, going to
\ntheatre plays, swimming and crabbing (with line and scoop net using chicken
\nnets and other things for bait). I can still see her wading out to the
\nplatform at Mullet Point with her nets and the tub with the bait and then
\nreturning with the tub fall of crabs. She loved Mardi Gras (guess that is
\nwhere we get it from!) and was deadly afraid of dogs. Still she let me and
\nthen later Diane have puppies! Momma spent a lot of time visiting her
\nfamily in Mobile, Toulminville and Whistler. Unfortunately I don’t remember
\nmost of them. I do remember Alphonse in Toulminville. She was particularly
\nfond of him. We ourselves spent a lot of time visiting the grandmothers and
\nshe made sure that we shared our time between Susie and Maw Maw<\/p>\n
