South Bend Tribune 7/3/1996

Joan Marie Fisher, 67, of South Bend, was called to heaven on July 1, after a long brave struggle with illness. She is remembered by family and friends as a devoted wife and loving mother. Joan touched many lives with her warmth, wit and cheerfulness. Joan opened her heart and home to all who met her.

 

She and Jim, her husband of 49 years, wintered in Kissimmee, Fla. and spent summers at Harwood Lake near Three Rivers, Mich. Joan is survived by her husband, James E. Fisher, her mother, Mary Graham of Shamrock Gardens in South Bend, Ind., daughters Susan Roscher of Wilmington, N.C., Sally Potts of Granger, Ind., son, Michael Fisher of Marcellus, Mich., and six grandchildren.

 

In lieu of flowers, the family would appreciate donations to Hospice of St. Joseph County which provided compassionate services to Joan and her family. The family will be receiving friends from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday at the Bubb Funeral Chapel North, 3910 N. Main St., where a family eulogy will be given at 7 p.m.
