Elizabeth Ann McKee Fisher
Break out your best chardonnay and raise a toast to heaven's newest member, our Lizzie. On August 3, 2012, after an eight month battle with neuro-endocrine cancer, Liz crossed the finished line. Lizzie, we your family thank you for your
gift of love, laughter and graciousness.
Liz was born February 20, 1959 to Margaret Currid McKee and John O. McKee. Liz was educated in Seattle, Washington, graduating from Holy Names Academy, the University of Washington and Seattle University. In 1998 she married William J.
Fisher (Bill) and in April of 2001 they had their daughter, Michaela Ann Fisher (Kaeli). Liz's greatest joy in life was her family and she cherished her roles of mom, wife, sister and aunt. Liz is survived by her husband Bill; her daughter Kaeli; her siblings; Patrick (and Annette), Mary (Erik), Therese (John) and Jodie (Dan). She leaves her loving nieces and nephews; Jennifer, Adam, Zak,
Ryan, Michelle, Charlotte, Natalie, Isabel and Caroline. Liz leaves a legacy of kindness and generosity; She was the first to give to anyone in need. One of Liz's favorite volunteer activities was to make sandwiches with the "Martha's Workers" at St. Anne Parish; she asked that, in lieu of flowers, people make
donations to this group that serves the homeless: Martha's Workers – C/O St. Anne Parish, 101 West Lee Street, Seattle, WA 98119.
Liz's Funeral Mass will be celebrated Thursday, August 9th, 7:00 PM at St. Anne Church. A reception will follow.
Remembering Elizabeth fondly. A sweet wonderful momma to our Kaeli at the Fun Center at QFC. Hello to Bill and Kaeli from Barbara. (Tina would agree. Tina is at home with the Lord Passed April 2024) Wondering how Kaeli is?

Hi Bill and Kaeli. Just a couple of hours ago I learned about the loss of your beautiful Liz. I had no idea and I am so sorry to hear about this. I wish I could have been in touch sooner. I only met Liz a few times, but she was always full of smiles and laughter every time I saw her. I'll never forget the time she and Bill opened up their home to have a BBQ in honor of my visit back to Seattle. She talked about Kaeli's school and told me all about her dancing and showed me her dance costumes....

Bill and Kaeli, I am so sorry to just of heard the news about Liz's passing. I am a sister of Bill's childood friend Marc and I met Liz at her wedding and again at my son's wedding reception. She was just so happy, gracious and fun to be around.

My heart goes out to Liz's family and I wish you my deepest sympathies.
I was blessed to have worked with Liz for many years and am saddened by her loss. She was an exemplar of service to others for me - a perfect blending of kindness and competence. She never failed to offer support and encouragement when I needed it. She was just as quick to share a laugh and a smile, too. She left the world a better place.

Dear Bill and Kaeli,
Thank you for today. Again, I am so sorry I didn't know. And that I did not knock on your door sooner with a meal in hand. Silliness told me I'd again bump into Liz, just like I always have. Come September. When the kids went back to school. I'd be pressing and walking, getting my kids to their school on time. While Liz and Kaeli would be rushing out the door late for theirs. We always laughed how how hectic life was. And if I caught her on the way home, we'd...
