Geneva "Tootsie" Fisher

Tootsie made her home since 1950 in the Crestview Community where she and her husband are charter members of Northwest Baptist Church. A descendant of the Old Texas 300, Tootsie was born on September 30, 1921 in Sanger, Denton County, Texas to Robert Albert Goff and Relia Hope Ellett Goff. Tootsie moved to Austin in 1928.

Tootsie is preceded in death by her parents, her daughter, Sandra Fisher, brothers, Andrew Goff and John Robert (JR) Goff and her sister Mable Goff Hatch.

A special remembrance to her dear friends, Gloria and Joyce and Brenda, her family at Northwest Baptist and the caretakers at The Christopher House. Tootsie was creative; an avid quilter and supporter of the Austin Area Quilt Bee “The Doobies”. She loved to paint and enjoyed all forms of needlework. She delighted in her son and his family.
