Mrs. Deborah Jane (nee Ratzlaff) Fisher

It is with great sadness that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved wife, mother, sister, aunt, grandmother and friend. Deb was predeceased by her father Jack in 2001, mother Eleanor in 2006 and brother Sandy in 2008. She left us peacefully with family by her side on Monday, October 17th.

She will be dearly missed by her husband Marcus, daughter Niki (Dave), Son Jason (Melissa), granddaughters Mackenzie (Dylan) and Samantha (Calvin), great grandson Jay, brothers Philip (Judi), Scott (Lorna), Doug (Lee) and Graham (Vivian), nieces Natasha and Chelsea, nephews Spencer and A Jay.

Born in Vancouver at VGH, she went to school in West Vancouver and held various administrative positions on the North Shore eventually retiring from BC Ferry Authority. Deb was well known in the community as a youth soccer coach, loved spending time exploring the beautiful BC coastline on the the family yacht and thoroughly enjoyed travelling across Canada in their motorhome.

She had a very large presence in the Multiple Sclerosis community having battled the disease since the age of 17 and will be dearly missed by all of her wonderful friends. Many thanks to the astonishing team at the BC Cancer Agency in Vancouver for the care, compassion and empathy over the last year of cancer treatments.

A private family service will be held at a later date but we encourage you to share your wonderful stories and memories with all of us.

In lieu of flowers, please consider a donation to MS Society of Canada or the BC Cancer Society.
