Deloris M. Fischer

Deloris M. Fischer, 87, of Appleton, was called home peacefully on Aug. 26, 2020, to be reunited with her loving husband Donald C. Fischer. Deloris was the daughter of the late George and Marietta Maltbey, of Shawano. Deloris and Donald were married on Oct. 10, 1959, in Cecil and enjoyed over 54 years together raising four children. Deloris was a caring and loving person, wonderful wife and mother and was always dedicating her time in helping others. She enjoyed casino trips and traveling with her siblings, fishing with Don, and most of all, spending time with her children and grandchildren. Deloris was a wonderful cook and was well known for the hundreds of jars of canned goods she prepared from their garden and was very generous of sharing them with others. Her many years of companionship with the ladies from TOPS was a big part of her life and loved the lunch get-togethers after her meetings. Deloris will be sadly missed by her surviving sons, Bruce (Karen) Fischer, Steve (Vicki) Fischer, Richard (Lisa) Fischer; grandchildren, Joshua (Aimee), Brian (Bethany), Nicholas, Melissa and Nicole, Eric and Courtney, Ashtin (Ryan), Aman, Alex (fiancée Miranda) and Cole (special friend Savannah); and great-grandchildren Juliet and Vincent. She is further survived by her twin sister, Doris Otto; Myron Herman (brother-in-law); Jan Maltbey (sister-in-law); Judy Mantei (sister-in-law); and many nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; her son, Jason; granddaughter, Danielle; Donald’s parents, Carl and Ida Fischer; sister, Donna Heling; brothers, Merlyn and Deloris Rosenow, Lyle Maltbey, Reginald Maltbey and Michael Maltbey; sister-in-law, Mavis Herman; and brothers-in-law, Vernon Heling, Ken Manthei and Ted Otto. The funeral service for Deloris was held at 1 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 1, 2020, at Faith Lutheran Church, 601 E. Glendale St. Online condolences may be expressed at www.wichmannfargo.com. The family would like to give a very special thank you to Tina and the entire staff of Country Villa in Freedom for taking such special care of Mom.
