Suzanne F. Fisher

It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of Suzanne Gum Fisher, which occurred on June 2, 2021 at the Lutheran Home. She was surrounded by her dedicated family and devoted caregivers. Suzanne was a longtime resident of Cape Girardeau Missouri. Suzanne is survived by three daughters, Leah Gaye Wilder of Kansas City Missouri; Teresa Suzanne Westbrook and her husband Kent of Dallas Texas; and Robyn Lea McCulley and her husband Terry of Sainte Geneviève Missouri; and one son, Charles John Wilder Jr. and his wife Susan of Dallas Texas. She is also survived by one brother, Robert Wayne Gum of Cape Girardeau Missouri. Suzanne was preceded in death by her parents, Faye and Robert Gum, her husband, Lyn Fisher, her sister in-law, Glenda Gum, and her daughter, Lisa Faye Wilder. She leaves nine adoring grandchildren: Jag Beveridge, Channing Nuyen, and Dakota Beveridge; Misty Juola; Allison Cook, John Wilder III, and Adam Wilder; and Jessica Laney and Mitchell McCulley. She leaves nine great grandchildren: James Nuyen; Cole Witherington; Abigail, Caroline and Emma Cook; Winnie Laney; and Jayden, Bennett, and Laney McCulley. Finally, she leaves many more family members and friends, including her best friend Stella Russell who will sadly miss her. Suzanne was born on April 11, 1940 in Kennett Missouri and was raised in Kennett in a loving family and enjoyed the simple pleasures of the postwar era, spending time outside riding bikes, playing sports, and climbing trees and the excitement of rock and roll music. She was a high school cheerleader and played clarinet in the band. She loved travel and lived and worked in many places including Arkansas, Illinois and California. Her most fulfilling job was as an administrator in mental health. She spent the last 22 years of her life in the Cape Girardeau Missouri area encircled by her daughter, Robyn, and her family and her brother, Robert, and his family. In addition to love for her family, Suzanne had an enthusiasm for swimming, music, boating, and movies. She cherished her time with family and was always enthusiastic for outings, trips to the lake, beach, and weddings; or any gathering of family and friends. Suzanne loved to have fun. Services will be private for the family. The family would like to express our deep gratitude and thanks to the wonderful guidance and care provided by Crown Hospice. In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Crown Hospice (https://crownhospice.net/) or the charity of your choice. Ford and Sons Funeral Home is in charge of arrangements.
