Valerie Jean Fisher's Obituary
Valerie Jean Fisher, age 67, formerly from Ocean View, DE passed away peacefully in her home after a short battle with cancer on Tuesday, November 15, 2022. She was born on November 14,1955 in Edgewood, MD, daughter of the late Joseph and Margaret (Manning) Hartman.
Her strong will to live, unwavering faith in God, and the love and prayers of family, friends, and many supporters carried her through 4 months of chemotherapy.
Her passions included gardening, thrifting, spending time with her grandkids, and professing her faith in Jesus Christ. She was baptized at The River Church in Frankford, DE, in 2022 but gave her heart to the Lord many years prior. She loved to debate apologetics and would welcome anyone into her home with love.
She is survived by her fiancé, Walter Wong; her daughters: Jennifer Garvey, Kelly Johnson, and Amanda Marthaller; her grandchildren: Kathryn Garvey, Charles Garvey, Zachary Johnson, Lilly Garvey, and Connor Johnson; and sons-in-law: Greg Johnson and David Garvey.
In lieu of a funeral service, the family had a Celebration of Life ceremony on Saturday, November 19, 2022.
“For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him…and so we will be with the Lord forever.”
1 Thessalonians 4:14,17
