“Sis” was born July 28, 1953, in Charles City, to Delmer and Caroline (Mehmen) Fisher. She was one of six children. “Sis” had spent most of her life in the Rockford and Floyd County area.

On Nov. 4, 1972, “Sis” was united in marriage to Dennis Fenton at the Little Brown Church in Nashua. To this union two sons were born, Delmer and Jerry. “Sis” enjoyed gardening and cooking for her family. “We will miss her green chili”. She enjoyed going to the car races, especially those in which her sons participated and competed in. “Sis” loved to play bingo on the computer and spending countless hours with her grandchildren. She was a very kind and nurturing mother, grandmother and wife.

Grateful for having had the privilege of sharing in her life are her loving and devoted husband, Dennis of Rockford; two sons, Delmer Fenton and his wife, Melissa “Missy”, of Marble Rock, and Jerry Fenton and his wife, Corinne “Cori”, of Williamsburg; her pride and joy of three grandchildren, Madison and Cole Fenton of Marble Rock, and Cale Fenton of Williamsburg; her mother, Caroline Fisher, of Rockford; two sisters, Robin Shafer and her husband, Scott, of Rockford, and Sandy Jones and her husband, Kevin, of Aredale; three brothers — twin brothers, Allan Fisher and his wife, LuAnn, of Clear Lake, and Alvin Fisher and his wife, Vicki, of Charles City — and Jim Fisher and his wife, Melissa, of Rockford. She will also be sadly missed and fondly remembered by many nieces, nephews, other family, friends and the family dog “Tiny”.
