Florence Fisher

Florence went to her eternal home on June 13th, 2024, at the age of 99, with family at her side, at the Long Term facility in Assiniboia, Saskatchewan.

Florence was born on January 7th, 1925, weighing a mere 2lbs, on the family farm by the town of Joeville, now known as Lisieux, Saskatchewan.

Predeceased by husband, Emil (June 3, 1992), her parents Alfred Lamontagne and Clara (Lanoie), brothers Lawrence and Adrien, sister Elaine Fisher, son-in-law Ted Zahariuk, and great-grandson Dallyn Cote.

Florence is survived by her daughter Floraine Zahariuk, sons, Emile (Helen), Rick (Shannon), Ernie (Anita), Mike (Lynn), 10 grandchildren, 27 great grandchildren, 1 great-great-grandson, sister Dora Baogh and sister-in-law Jeanne Lamontagne as well as numerous nieces and nephews.

Florence grew up on the family farm and married the love of her life Emil on April 3rd, 1945 at Lisieux and made their home on the farm at Scout Lake. They began their family with the birth of Floraine in 1947, followed by Emile in 1949, Rick in 1954, Ernie in 1962, and Mike in 1965.

She loved filling her home with family and friends. Her grandchildren were her pride and joy. Many days the house was filled and everyone left with a full belly and a smile. She had a great love for music and could play many instruments. She joined the Rockglen Pickers in her later years, and they entertained in many nursing homes, and at many functions in Thomson Lake, Wood Mountain, Assiniboia and as far as Bienfait.

Her faith in her Lord and Saviour Jesus helped her through any trial that came her way and we know she is in Heaven singing and dancing and reuniting with her family that went ahead of her. We will meet again one day.

Funeral Mass was celebrated Saturday, June 22nd, 2024 at 11:00 am at the Rockglen Community Hall. Father Clement Amofah celebrant. Readers were Carmen Fisher and Roxann Bender; Tribute by Leann Cote.
