Sherry M. Fischer
October 13, 1954 - January 22, 2016Alta, Iowa
In her sleep on Friday, January 22, 2016, Sherry M. Fischer passed away peacefully from natural causes at her Alta residence.
The second child and first daughter of Jeanne White, Sherry was born in the town of Walla Walla, Washington, on October 13th, 1954.
Raised in Walla Walla, Washington, and Pierce, Idaho, Sherry graduated from Timberline High School with an amazing beehive hairstyle. Her first child, Stephanie Warner, was adopted by her aunt and uncle. As a young woman, she joined the Navy and visited many places including Guam, where she married Bradley J. Fischer, and had two children.
After she had divorced and left the Navy, she lived in her hometown of Pierce for ten years where she raised her children, Skye Phillips and Bradley Fischer, Jr.,. There, she worked at many odd jobs including in the fields of child care, logging, lifeguarding, and wildlife conservation. During this time, her children led a half feral existence, spending most of their time outside fishing and swimming while Sherry read novels and waited for them to bring her the raspberries they had picked while wandering. During this decade, they had a few pets including three cats, Ariel, Irish, and Snowflake, and three dogs, Wolf, Yukon, and Chocolate.
In 2001, Sherry moved to Storm Lake, Iowa, and found her true home. For fourteen years, she worked at MarketLink in Quality Assurance. For a short time, she, also, worked as an Associate at Walmart. In Iowa, Sherry became a devoted friend to many people, taking care of them and loving them with an open heart. She was beloved by her friends and their families. They enjoyed going to shows together weekly. She, especially, liked Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens. She continued her love of reading and writing, participating in online fanfiction groups for two series: The Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward and Midnight Breed Rising by Lara Adrian. She was the admin in the Midnight Breed Rising group and sent gifts to the other participating writers and fans to encourage them. In addition, she loved paranormal romance fiction novels and science fiction television programs and movies.
Preceded in death by her mother, Jeanne White, Sherry is survived by her siblings, Raleigh Minard, Terry Hamilton, and Scott Minard; and her children, Stephanie Warner, Skye Phillips, and Bradley Fischer, Jr.
There will be no service for Sherry. Her wish, to be cremated and have her ashes spread in the ocean, will be realized by her son, Bradley, with the assistance of the United States Navy. In lieu of flowers, please donate to your local library or any literary charity of your choice. If you wish to honor Sherry’s memory, read a book, write a short story, or watch some scifi and think of her. She’d love it.
