In 1960 Laura met her husband of 46 years Roy Claude Fisher. Their love of travel and adventure took them and their four children throughout the United States. Laura and RC returned to their beloved state of Texas in 1996 to be close to family. Laura’s extended family includes her fellow workers at the local Chevrolet dealership where she worked for over 20 years.

Laura’s kindness and hope, charity and goodness influenced everyone she ever met. Say not in grief ‘she is no more’ but live in thankfulness that she was.

She was preceded in death by her husband, R.C. Fisher; and sisters, Mary Ruth Sartin and Gwendolyn Farley.

Laura is survived by her children, Russell Fisher of Kilgore, Randy Fisher and wife Rhonda of Gilmer, Texas, Jennifer Coulter and husband Dennis of Vicksburg and Roger Fisher of Kilgore; siblings, Robbie Prescott of Lake Isabella Calif., Richard Mann of Temple, Texas, and John Mann and wife Beth of Houston; grandchildren, Ryan Fisher and wife Jessi, Reagan Y’Barbo and husband Cliff, Rance Fisher and wife Erica, Mackenzie Coulter, Roy Chase Fisher, Ralen Fisher, Carissa Fisher, Reed Fisher and Ross Fisher; great-grandchildren, Kadee Reese Y’Barbo, Kash Y’Barbo, Sophia Fisher, and Lillian Fisher; nieces and nephews.

A memorial fund in memory of Laura and RC has been established at Windridge Therapeutic Center PO Box
