Dorothy Nielsen Fisher

Dorothy’s journey began in New England, North Dakota on January 20, 1928. Her parents had immigrated from Denmark, met and married in the United States and already had three growing boys. She was unexpected, that golden gift in their later years: a gift that gave them joy. Dorothy was cherished and loved.



The shiny new child in that family, she grew up on their homestead farm, playing with her friends; dogs, cats and cows on the rolling hills, as everyone contributed to the success of this venture and helped look out for her well-being. Evenings were spent with music and laughter. Dorothy learned to play the chord organ in the home and they sang together, and, in time, along with the radio.



As she grew, she, too, became part of this system. She helped in the kitchen and around the house, and later reminisced about the cookies, pastries and sweets that were staples in this Danish home. They had plenty of milk and butter from the cows. Sunshine, even in the cold winters, was the harbinger of life and life was the gift from God.



Dorothy married Andrew Fisher and they were blessed with three children; Dennis, Dianne and Patty. She was a devoted wife and mother and was preceded in death by her Andy who passed away in 2012.



Dorothy is survived by her children, Dennis (Laura) Fisher of Omaha, NE., Dianne (Ed) Kroll of

Chicago, IL., and Patty (Ron) Odell of Lamar, CO.; grandchildren Jason (Angie) Fisher of Omaha, NE. Michael (Sara) Odell of Longmont, CO., David (Tara Martin) Odell and Timothy Odell of Lamar, CO., and Sara Odell of Colorado Springs, CO. and six great grandchildren.
