Shirley Fisher

I worked with Shirley in accounting at The Ann Arbor News for a short time in 1995. I learned so much working with her. She was meticulous and I always admired her. When I moved to advertising, I focused on the details in everything I did because of her.

I had the pleasure of knowing Shirley through my 40-plus year friendship with her daughter-in-law, Cindy Fisher, her husband Mike, and their two sons, Brian and Kevin (my Godson). Shirley was a strong woman, who shared her thoughts and beliefs honestly and directly. It was refreshing. I admired her for that, especially when open and honest communication has been somewhat lost in the world. I was grateful to have talked with Shirley and gotten to know her at some of the Fisher family...

As a second cousin to Shirley I always enjoyed her unfiltered analysis on any topic or subject. You always knew where you stood with Shirley and I loved her spunk. She raised her three boys as a young mother and did a marvelous job of it. Our sympathy to her family and RIP Cuz.

"When a person becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure." I´m grateful for the memories that I have with Aunt Shirley. I admired her strength and ability to openly share her thoughts. I share in the sadness of her passing but find comfort in knowing that she is reunited with my Uncle Gerald.

So many great memories of "Mrs. Fisher"! Our neighbor and our friend - tough, strong and kind. Our condolences to the guys and your families.
