Carla Marie Fritzinger

DOE RUN — Carla Marie Fritzinger of Doe Run, entered eternal rest on May 19, 2025, at her residence the age of 64. She was born on January 16, 1961, in Coudersport, Pennsylvania.

Carla is survived by her loving mother, Diane Cornelius; her devoted children, Eric (Suzanne) Fritzinger, Alisha (Bryan) Bubb, and Kinley (Zachary Tharp) Wilkerson; her cherished grandchildren, Adrian Fritzinger, Kylie Keener, Maya Bubb, and McKenzi Bubb; her sisters, Tina (Curt) Fullmer and Margaret Cornelius; her niece, Christina Fullmer; and her nephews, Alex Meeks and Curtis Fullmer, Jr. She is also survived by her two great-grandchildren, who brought her so much joy. Carla was preceded in death by her father, Jim Cornelius.

Carla graduated from Austin High School in Austin, Pennsylvania, in 1977. She began her career with the Pennsylvania State Forestry’s Young Adult Conservation Corps (YACC) and later worked in retail for many years. In recent years, she worked in the dietary department at Ashbrook Assisted Living, where she especially enjoyed interacting with the residents and found the work deeply rewarding.

Carla enjoyed the simple pleasures in life. She was an avid gardener and bird watcher, and found peace in horseback riding, fishing, and baking. More than anything, she treasured spending time with her family, especially her grandchildren and great-grandchildren.

A celebration of life will be held at a later date. Memorial donations, if desired, may be made to The Stables Equine Therapeutic Foundation, Inc., an organization that uses the transformative power of horses to provide therapeutic opportunities for individuals with cognitive, physical, emotional, and social challenges, helping them build confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging.
