Barbara Ann Fisher

Barbara Ann Fisher, 73, passed away Friday, July 21, 2017. She was born November 9, 1943, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to the late Walter and Effie Godwin Shaw. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Henry Fisher.

Barbara's father was in the Navy, so Barbara spent her childhood traveling from base to base. From this, Barbara developed a larger world view and a taste for the cosmopolitan. While being treated for a hang nail by the Navy base doctor in Puerto Rico, she was introduced to her future husband, the doctor's younger brother. Eventually, Barbara and Henry were married and they settled in Nashville in 1969.

Barbara was a passionate, generous and intelligent woman. She was salutatorian of her class in Jacksonville Senior High School where she studied four different languages. Barbara held a love of literature and theater her whole life. She adored animals and always had a dog under her care. She was socially conscious. During the 1970's, she traveled to Raleigh with her young daughter where she marched for passage of the ERA. It ultimately failed, but, Barbara remained interested in politics all her life. She volunteered at the polling place in Nashville during elections. She attended both UNC-G and UNC-CH and remained a devoted Carolina basketball fan throughout her life. For years, Barbara worked in her late husband's law office as a paralegal.

She leaves behind one daughter, Karen Moskowitz, and son-in-law, David; sister, Deborah Shaw and three beloved grandchildren, Rachel, Noa, and Molly Moskowitz.

A graveside service will be held at Maplewood Cemetery in Durham on August 5th at 12:00 noon.

Cornerstone Funeral Home is honored to be caring for the Fisher family. Words of comfort may be shared at www.cornerstonefuneralhomeandcreamations.comCornerstone Funeral Home 1052 South First Street, Nashville, NC 27856.
