Jean Fisher Obituary
Jean's career spanned various roles at Loreal, News Bank, and most recently, the Unity Center of Peace in Chapel Hill, NC, where she influenced many through her commitment to spirituality and community service. Her passions were diverse, including music, tennis, knitting, social justice, and environmental protection, reflecting her deep connection to nature and spirituality.
Jean is survived by her parents, Jane and Donald Fisher, Sr.; siblings Janet, Donald, David, Jill, and Jennifer; nephews and nieces Len, Kourtney, Kathryn, Samantha, EJ, Tyler, and Sidney; Aunt Georgiana, and several cousins. She was preceded in death by her nephew, Christopher.
Jean's life was a testament to the power of quiet strength, and the impact of living authentically. Her legacy of kindness, optimism, and thoughtful contemplation will live on through those who knew her and were touched by her gentle spirit.

One of the earliest memory I have of my Aunt Jean is cramming myself between her body and the back of the couch while she watched TV on Sunday morning. I did this well into my toddlerhood and remember these moments fondly. Though I am sure it was probably at least a little annoying for her at the time, I still haven´t forgot the comfort of those times. I will miss her dearly, EJay.

To Jane, Donald, Janet, Don, David, Jill and Jennifer;
There is no pain so great as the Memory of joy in present grief.
Jean´s wit, & sense of humor still brings me joy. My hope is that it will continue to do so for you.
