Home of Muenster. Florence died early Monday morning December 23, in Fort
Worth.
Florence was born on June 15, 1915 in Lindsay, Texas. She was the daughter of Joe and Mary Lang Schmitz. Her mother died when Florence was three year of age. Florence, her brother and father then moved to Southmayde. One year later, her father married Mary Roeder. After living in Southmayde for several years, they moved to Sherman where Florence attended grade school at Saint Joseph’s Academy. The family then moved to Muenster in November 1930. Florence then, in 1934, graduated from Muenster Public High School. She married Charlie Fisher on September 10, 1935 in Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The family lived southeast of Muenster. There they became parents of two daughters, Mildred and Clara.
Charlie, Florence and the two daughters bought a place and moved to the Valley View area, in 1938. A third daughter, Emma was born there in 1939. The family then, in 1944, returned to Muenster. There, Florence worked at the Muenster Memorial Hospital as a nurses’ aide. She continued employment there until her retirement in 1981. She was a member of Catholic Daughters and Saint Anne’s Society and Sacred Heart Parish.
Florence continued living on the farm after Charlie’s death in 1972. She then, in 1974, moved to her new home in Muenster where she had lived until moving in with Emma and Clara in Fort Worth. She had lived there for the past four years.
Florence was a very sweet lady, a hard worker, a great family wife and mother and very dedicated to her religion. She will be greatly missed.
Florence is survived by 3daughters: Mildred Shenk of Seal Beach, CA, Clara Fisher of Fort Worth, Emma Fisher of Fort Worth; 2 grandchildren, 2 great grandchildren and 1 great-great grandchild. She was preceded in death by her husband, Charlie; parents, Joe and Mary Schmitz; and a brother, Alphones Schmitz.
Pallbearers were: Robert Shenk, Don Pledger, Pat Pledger, Gerry Fisher, Steve Taylor, and Edward Pick.
