Carol Fisher Obituary
Carol Esther (Smith) Fisher, beloved wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, sibling, friend and sister in Christ, entered into eternal rest on Sunday, August 10th. Born September 3, 1940 in New Britain, CT to Edward O. and Dorothy C. Smith, Carol attended Northfield School, Northfield, MA (founded by D.L. Moody) and later received her RN diploma from Grace - New Haven School of Nursing, a division of Yale Medical School. On August 25, 1962 she married Herman "Bud" Fisher, Jr. Their life journey encompassed living in four states prior to arriving in San Antonio where the couple resided for the last 40 years. Dedicated to the profession of nursing throughout her life, Carol retired in 2006 after 25 years on the staff of Methodist Hospital. Carol's house and friends were blessed through her creative and artistic abilities expressed in quilting, cross stitch, knitting and stained glass. As one who loved people and her community, she served on the San Antonio Rodeo Hospitality Committee and the Western Art Committee and also served for several years as an Ambassador at the San Antonio Airport. A long-time member of University United Methodist Church, Carol was active in the Believer's Class, the Prayer Quilt Ministry and the Quilters Guild. Surviving Carol is her husband Herman 'Bud' Fisher, Jr., daughter Ann Ruth Brashear and her husband John and grandchildren Amy and Matthew, son Kenneth O. Fisher and grandchildren Ryan and Samantha, and her mother Dorothy C. Armistead (age 102). The family offers special acknowledgement and thanks to Dr. Ronald Drengler MD, & Ms. Gail Hutzler RN, of the START Center, Dr. Steven M. Abbate MD, and Dr. John W. Thomas MD, for their care and compassion.

Dear family, we are sorry for your loss and pray for peace in your heart. We knew Carol and Bud from our years at UUMC and I worked with Carol at Methodist Plaza. You are in our thoughts and prayers.

It was such a pleasure getting to know Carol. I always enjoyed conversing with her, although our conversations were never very long. She was indeed gifted, & always made everyone around her feel blessed. She will truly be missed.

The Call cousins were separated by distance growing up, so I'm sorry to say we were not close like "family", but I certainly enjoyed the few encounters we have had in recent years. I missed knowing Carol when young, and barely knew her as adult, but certainly look forward to getting to know her when we are all together in God's house! All the cousins say "farewell Carol, until we meet again".....all the Parrs: ....George & Diana, Louise & Don Hinds, Linda & Jacson Matos.

Carol always had a smile on her face. She is one of the kindest nurses that I worked with at Methodist. This world has lost a beauty.

I have such fun memories of Carol and the classes we took from Lois at Memories by the Yard. Lois would let us pick a pattern and Carol would look at it and we would say, "yep looks good" and we would try it. In the process of making the quilt, we would look at each other and say "who picked this pattern" Of course we would all say, "not me". Then laugh lots. Time spent in the class and out to lunch was fun. We solve the world issues if only some one would ask, but mainly we laughed a lot and made some good quilts.
She will be greatly missed
Hugs Carol
