On June 22, 2019, heaven gained another angel after a short illness. Born on May 8, 1929 in Walker, Missouri to Clara Mae (Jones) Fisher and Charles Ira Fisher. She graduated from Walker High School in 1946 as valedictorian and attended Southwest Missouri State. She met and married a returning Navy man.  She later graduated from Barton Community College, St. Mary’s of the Plains, and at the age of 78 received her second Bachelor of Arts from Sterling College. Her joy in her artwork lasted through her lifetime even though she thought it was an unnecessary required subject in college.  She was volunteer clown, Whoozit.  Her favorite art subject was her clowns with over 1000 charcoals and oil paintings given to friends and family.  She had art shows at Great Bend, Kansas; Dodge City, Kansas; Russell, Kansas; Enid, Oklahoma; Dallas, Texas; and Tulsa, Oklahoma.  You can see her paintings in many homes all over the United States and England.

She was proceeded in death by her parents, brothers Charles and Robert Fisher, and her beloved companion of over 20 years, Dale Kline.  She leaves behind to cherish her memory five children, Melinda Kite, David (Jackie) Kite, Doug (Carmen) Kite, Marcia (Rolla) Fetterman, and Laurie Scheffer; seven grandchildren,  Nickolas (Allison) Kite, Jessica (Aric) Almaguer, James Kite, Erica Kite, Alicia (Bryan) Mong, Melissa (Jessie) Edmonson, and David Scheffer and eight plus great-grandchilden Madison(Jerry), Raylynn, Lexie(Jacob), Aaron, Austin, Wyatt, Jaden, Carly and a great granddaughter to be welcomed in September. She considered Dales daughters, Karen (George), Katherine (David) and Barbara and their children, part of her family. Also her loving companion, Susie Peaches who spent the last two week cuddling with mom and giving her comfort in the nursing home. No services will be held at this time, but a gathering of friends and family is being planned for June 11 – 15, 2020 in Branson, Missouri to scatter her ashes in her beloved Ozark Mountains. Further information on this celebration will be provided later.  Albertson’s Funeral Home, Indianapolis is handing the cremation and her obit is on their website.
