Sister Rachel Fisher was the "rock" of Bethlehem Chapter No. 15 Order of the Eastern Star at Crewe, VA. She served as Grand Warder twenty-five years ago and as Worthy Matron of our chapter many times. Even at age 90, just before she passed away she made all the plans for our 100th Anniversary, preparing for the History, Program, Special Music, food and decorations. Our chapter burned in 1963 destroying our records and our Sister's amazing memory provided much of our history, without which we would have nothing. She will be greatly missed and mourned by her sisters and brothers of the Order of the Eastern Star.

Mrs. Fisher was an angel! She was the best grandmother one could ever wish for! May God be with her soul on her journey into heaven.
