Celebration of Life: 1:00 p.m., Friday, August 7, 2015, Copper Island Pub, Scotch Creek, BC
Lonnie was a very independent woman, living her life to the fullest, volunteering, shopping, socializing, travelling and spending time with her beloved pets – Bonnie, Lou Lou and Tippie. Lonnie grew up in North Vancouver working at the Avalon Hotel until her retirement. She then moved to Scotch Creek where she didn’t have enough time in the day. She volunteered with the Lions Club, Shuswap Historical Society and Theater group. She was always at social gatherings from working out to Diva Impersonators to golfing and curling to movie nights to lawn bowling and to Friday Night Happy Hour.
Lonnie was the oldest daughter of Gordon and Hazel Fisher. She is survived by her 4 children: Debbie Gartner (Larry), Donny Myles, Dee Myles (Ransey), Denise Raugust (Allan); her 3 pets: Tippie, Lou Lou, and Bonnie; her siblings: Charlene Bjarnason, Ray Fisher (Judy), Gordon Fisher (Janice), Chuck Fisher (Diane), 10 grandchildren, 9 great grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews and many family friends and community far and wide.
She was predeceased by her parents Gordon and Hazel Fisher, her son Jimmy, her husband Dave, and her sister Gayle.
I am so saddened for your loss of such a wonderful lady as Lonnie. I have had the pleasure of helping her with, Tippy, Lou & Bonnie. She always had smile on her face and a true love for her wonderful companions. I know that she will be missed dearly by all. Sincere condolences from myself,

Thank you very much Sandra. Mom loved to help everyone and make them feel special. We are going to miss her very much.
My sincere condolences to the whole family. Lonnie was a very generous, talented, hard working and fun loving woman who loved her family very much. I really appreciate everything that she did to make James, her brother-in-law, and I feel like a part of that family. May she rest in peace, and may you all be comforted by your many good memories of her, and by each other.
