Treasa Fitzgerald, a cherished member of the Heavener community, passed away after a life filled with love and resilience. Treasa graduated as the Salutatorian from Howe High School in 1976. Her high school years were highlighted by her roles as a cheerleader, class president, and vice president. She was actively involved in journalism and the Future Homemakers of America.
In the early years, Treasa pursued a career as a Barber and Respiratory Therapist in the 1990’s. Although she faced health challenges that led to her retirement in the early 2000s, Treasa’s spirit remained unbreakable, and she approached life with a positive outlook. Above all, she fiercely loved and protected her family and friends, finding immense joy in the time spent with them.
Treasa was a loyal and caring friend, always ready to support those around her. Her mornings were often spent enjoying coffee while watching her favorite show “The Hagees.” She also loved the “Golden Girls”. Treasa will be remembered for her unwavering kindness, her dedication to her loved ones, and the warmth she brought to all who knew her.
