Mary Lou Fisher-Beard, age 95, of Burns, passed away Feb. 22, 2022, from natural causes.

Mary Lou is survived by seven of her children, Joe Fisher, Judy DeWitt, Susie Mowan,  Linda Bass, Debbie Kuhn, William Fisher,  and Tammy DuRette; 27 grandchildren; approximately 75 great-grandchildren and great-great-grandchildren. 

She was preceded in death by her husband, Vincel Fisher; and second husband, August Beard; and her second son, Leroy Fisher.

She was a strong woman who loved her kids and grandkids. She loved to crochet, sewing, and making candy at Christmas time.  She was a good listener; she was a quiet and shy woman who loved deeply. She would often say little quotes to help you through a situation. One that comes to mind often is, “This too shall pass.” 

“She’s the diamond of the desert, she’s the golden flower of spring. She’s the yellow rose of Texas, she can make a man a king.
