Dona Fisher
September 13, 1945 — February 16, 2007
Donamae Jean Fisher, one of six children of Harland and Clara (Pieper) Stoner, was born September 13, 1945 at Nebraska City, Nebraska. Her family moved to Falls City, Nebraska, and Dona attended school there through the 6th Grade. She then attended school in Tecumseh and graduated from high school there.
On October 16, 1964 Dona was united in marriage to Ronald Fisher at St. John?s Lutheran Church in Tecumseh. The couple made their home near Johnson, Nebraska, and was blessed with two children: Lori and Russell.
Dona worked in Tecumseh as a telephone operator from 196 until 1965. She later worked for a year at the Nemaha County Good Samaritan Center in Auburn. In 1977 Dona began employment in the cafeteria of Johnson-Brock Public Schools, where she worked for 28 years until her health required her to retire.
As an active member of Zion Lutheran Church, Dona was involved with the Women of the Church and also served as the church custodian from 1974 until 2007. She was a sports fanatic, and loved to watch her children and grandchildren compete, as well as the Nebraska Cornhuskers. She also enjoyed listening to music, especially country. Dona and Ron loved to go to Statler Brothers concerts, and didn?t miss anytime the group performed in Nebraska.
For the past couple of years, Dona battled against the effects of cancer on her body. She passed away at her home near Johnson on Friday, February 16, 2007 at the age of 61 years, 5 months, and 3 days. Her father Harland, father-in-law Raymond Fisher, and brother-in-law Lee Hoover preceded her in death.
