Lillian Fisher

FISHER, Lillian Frances Deal Jones was granted her angel wings on the early morning of May 22, 2010. She is now forever at home with the Lord Savior in which she served faithfully for 75 years. She was given by the Lord to Estelle Champion and George Deal in Warren County, N.C. on December 19, 1935. She was preceded in death by her first husband, James T. Jones Jr. "Bill"; and her second husband, Earl Fisher. "Mama" is survived by her three daughters, Kay Jensen, Sharon Dardoufas and Mitzi Sizemore. "Nana" is also survived by her grandchildren, Jillian and George Dardoufas, Nathan Schold, Mason Sizemore, Kameron and Kristen Jensen; and lastly her great-grandson, Landon Jensen. Francis graduated from John Graham High School in Warrenton, N.C. in 1955. After one momentous slow dance, she fell in love, and soon married her soulmate, Bill Jones. Entrusted by the Lord, Frances and Bill shared a loving, caring and faithful companionship with one another. As best friends, and man and wife, they devoted their lives to loving and caring for their three daughters and grand- children. The memories of Frances are blessed by the Christian graces displayed in everything that she did. She was a faithful member of her church and her 23 years of work at Deluxe Check Printers. We gather to remember Lillian Fisher, and celebrate that she is now healed and reunited with all of her loved ones. A memorial service will be held at Falling Creek Baptist Church on Sunday, May 23, from 1 to 2 p.m. Frances will return to her home in Warrenton, North Carolina to be laid to rest beside her beloved husband, Bill.
