She is survived by her sister, Mary Fisher Smith of Berlin, Md.; and nieces, Mary Jarrod of Virginia Beach, Bonnie Fisher of Bethesda, Md., Sally Lockler of Cambridge, Md., and Sue Tobat (Tom) of Hurlock, Md.; and a very special niece Dawn Rogers (Brooke) of Ocean City, Md. Nephews are Sam Fisher (Yvette) of Texas; and Mark Smith (Denise) of Hockessin, Del. She was predeceased by her sister, Anne Layton; and brothers, William, Robert, and John Carroll Fisher; and her niece, Nancy Mastronardi; and nephew, Grant Smith and nephew John Fisher, Jr. Lester was born in Federalsburg to Elbert and Sally Wright on November 28, 1924. He is survived by nephews, Richard Wright (Pat) of Greenwood, Del., Wally Wright of Virginia; and niece, Janice Wheatley of Federalsburg.

They were married in 1944 living in Federalsburg when Lester joined the United States Army on April 26, 1946 serving his country faithfully with the 743RD AAA BN in Manila, Philippines as a clerical clerk until his discharge on July 2, 1947. They later moved to Berlin in 1954 to own a car dealership for many years. Lester enjoyed spending time at a lodge in Assateague with friends hunting and fishing. Midge was a secretary for most of her life recently retiring from Moore & Co. after 25 years. Midge had a keen mind and was an avid reader. Having no children of their own "Aunt Midge and Uncle Lester" doted on their nieces and nephews from sleepovers in the attic to days on the beach and enjoying favorite meals. Many wonderful memories were made. There will be a private service for the family at a future date.

It really sadden me to hear about Midge.I
got to talk to her at least twice a year
when she was working at Moore's Co.I can
hear her voice saying "Pat,this is Midge"
are you getting to get your irrigation
system turned on if it were spring time
or turned off in Nov.or Dec.After it was
turned off,then I would go down to the
office to pay my bill,then I got to see
her.It hasn't been so long that I was in
the office and I asked for her.What a
beautiful voice she had and had a little
tone when she would say something to me.
Especially P__A___T this is M__I_D_G_E.
May God bless the family I will never
forget Midge wherein I thought she was
saying Madge.
