In Remembrance Of
Mary Fisher
Mary Catherine (Claus) Fisher, 86, of Easton, MO passed away, February 26, 2025.
She was born July 24, 1938, to Mary (O’Connor) and (John) Joseph Claus in St. Joseph, Mo. She grew up in St. Joseph, attending the Convent of the Sacred Heart High School before moving to Kansas City where she graduated from Bishop Hogan High School. Mary attended St. Mary’s College in Leavenworth, Ks. before returning to her home in Kansas City.
On October 30,1965 she was united in marriage to Henry Raymond Fisher. After their marriage they lived on a farm in Easton, Mo where they made their home.
Mary was a homemaker for many years, raising their eight children, before returning to work as a substitute teacher and various other service jobs.

She then went on to work as a librarian at the St. Joseph Public Library, where she shared her love for books and education with the community. Mary was a member of St. Joseph Catholic Church in Easton where she served on multiple committees and the Altar Society.
All her life, Mary was a devoted servant of God, wife, and mother. Her love for God and her family resonated through her whole being and she especially shared a special devotion to the Blessed Mother. Even to her last days on this earth, Mary’s devotion to the Blessed Mother was witnessed by those that loved and cared for her, praying the rosary daily. Those that knew Mary, always knew kindness and love.

I was married to her brother, Joseph.
I have loved her from the moment I met her. A privilege to have known the family!
I am not a relative of her husband. Both Mary and Josph chose Fischers although we had different spellings.
Rest in Peace

Mary always had a smile on her face when I saw her. Though we didn’t get to visit her at the farm as much as we would have liked, the memories there were priceless as a young kid with all the Fisher kids. Thank you for being so welcoming Mary. Our condolences to all the Family and friends of her. May she rest in eternal peace.
