Marjorie Fischer was born November 17, 1934 in Sauk Rapids Township, MN to Fabian and Elvina (Thielman) Alvord, and was the eldest of 15 children. She married Henry A. (“Hank”) Fischer August 13, 1955 in Milaca. They moved to San Mateo County, California in 1956 where she worked as a switchboard operator at Sequoia and Peninsula hospitals, returning (along with her husband) to St Cloud, Minnesota in 1975 to care for her husband’s aging parents.

Margie enjoyed writing poetry and was published in a compilation, The Best Poems and Poets of 2003, (The International Library of Poetry, 2004).

She spent over 30 years researching and assembling a significant genealogical record of her family. She was proud to be an 11th generation American.

Margie also loved sewing and gardening while raising her children.

She is survived by her sons William of Tucson, AZ and Tony Fischer of Sartell; sisters Mary Kiplinger of CA, Geraldine Stang, Rosella Garcia (Dan), Judith Holmgren, Ruth Zulkosky (Ken), Jennifer Maertens, Bonnie Jackels, Betsy Kardell, Laurel Hage; brothers Theodore, Judson (Sharon), all of MN, Tom of CT, Joe (Karen) of FL; ten grandchildren, six great grandchildren, and one great-great grandchild.

She was preceded in death by her parents, husband, daughter Kathleen (Kate) Driver (Jackson, MI) and brother Richard.

Thanks to Chris Zitur and Mary Ann Ruprecht for your help, friendship and love. Margie’s children, grandchildren and great grandchildren were the most important to her. She dearly loved each of them.
