Rowena Mae Markley
March 16, 2004
PLYMOUTH - Rowena Mae Markley, 85, died of natural causes at 10:50 p.m. on Tuesday, March 16, 2004. Formerly of Plymouth, Rowena died at Timbercrest Senior Living Center, North Manchester.
She was born in Bourbon on March 3, 1918, the daughter of Harry O. and Mary Lilian Warnacut Compton. She was the third of five children.
In a loving tribute to his mother, Donald Markley wrote of the family: "Mary was consummately dedicated to her children. When faced with a mortgage foreclosure by the bank, she simply wrote Franklin Delano Roosevelt, stating that she could provide food for her children, but he must keep the roof over their heads.
"One week later, money arrived at the bank; the Compton household continued to flourish. This was mother Mary's dictate: 'We protect the children at all costs!' Rowena learned well from her mother," Donald said. "She would protect the children of the world by bringing them to Christ."
On May 29, 1937, in Bourbon, Rowena and Cecil F. Markley were married. They had met three years before on a hot summer night in Plymouth. Cecil died, holding Rowena's hand, on Oct. 6, 2000. The couple had enjoyed 66 years of marriage. Their son, Donald, said that they were both so thankful for having found each other, that they very rarely exchanged cross words. They were too much in love.
A Bourbon High School graduate, Rowena was very talented. Her early years involved being a legal secretary, realty secretary, license branch worker and shoe salesperson on the weekends.
Donald described her life changing experience as a happening in 1953 when Ruth (Graham) Lyons entered Rowena's life. "Ruth was the catalyst that sent Rowena into church work," he wrote. "She became so filled with the Spirit of God that she virtually 'bonded' with the church. From 1953 until 1980, she worked in children's education with the Plymouth Church of the Brethren as well as doing chaplaincy work at Parkview Hospital. In 1973, she was called to be a Life Time Licensed Minister."
Rowena often stated that "working for Christ and the church were the best years of my life." Cecil and Rowena continued their own mission well into retirement. They visited with nursing home residents, many of whom were lonely with no family. She continued this until her death. She welcomed the task of transporting parishioners from the poorer areas of Plymouth for many years. In 1980, Rowena received an award from the pastors of Plymouth for her contributions to Christianity in Plymouth.
At her retirement, in 1980, the Plymouth Church gave her a trip to the Holy Lands. She never stopped remarking about this visit to her sacred beginnings.
Rowena is survived by her son and daughter-in-law: Donald W. and Connie Markley, Plainwell, Mich.
Two grandchildren, Krista Markley, Grand Rapids, Mich., and Kurtis Markley, Phoenix, Ariz., also survive, together with a sister, Betty Grossman, Argos, and a close nephew and his wife, Donald and Mary Aker, Plymouth. Don Aker lived with Rowena and Cecil for a while when he was in high school. They loved him just like a son.
Rowena was preceded in death by her parents, her husband, a sister, Naomi Dixon and two brothers, Robert Compton and Ross Compton.

Joshua 'Josh' Fisher
March 2, 2004
PLYMOUTH - Joshua "Josh" Michael Edward Fisher, died too young, too soon. He was 15 days away from celebrating his 17th birthday.
Tragically, the popular Plymouth High School junior died at 7:55 p.m. Tuesday night, March 2, 2004, from injuries caused by an automobile accident Sunday evening, Feb. 29, 2004. Hospitalized in Parkview Hospital, Fort Wayne, Josh died with his parents and his youngest brother, Nick, at his side.
It is an agonizing loss to his family, his friends and to all who knew him.
Josh, known among his friends as "Big Fish," was a gentle giant with a sweet disposition. During his few years, he showed endearing qualities of friendliness, sincerity and compassion for others.
Born in South Bend on March 17, 1987, Josh was the oldest son of Michael Anthony and Jo Ann Whitesell Fisher. He attended St. Michael's Catholic School and Menominee Elementary School and was presently a junior in Plymouth High School Class of 2005.
Enthusiastic, with a love of life, he did his best at everything he was involved with - especially sports. He was an all-around athlete. He loved basketball and baseball but his passion was football. He and his family were heavily involved in the Marshall County Junior Football League and in high school he played center and defensive tackle on the junior varsity team. His dream was to play for the University of Miami, pro ball and then coach. He had a special admiration for Lou Holtz.
He had played baseball since he was 1 year old. He collected baseball cards and sported memorabilia of such idols as "Shoeless" Joe Jackson and the "Big Hurt" Frank Thomas.
In basketball, Josh served as manager for the varsity team his freshman year and, as a sophomore, he played on the high school junior varsity team and in the Plymouth Summer Basketball League.
He was a member of St. Michael's Roman Catholic Church and practiced his faith by having no barriers to friendships. A volunteer at the Boys & Girls Club, he was a mentor to many younger children and enjoyed working with area kids. He openly supported the Right To Life.
Josh loved electronic games and all kinds of music. He had sung in the school choir since the sixth grade to the present time.
Very close to his younger brothers, he followed their activities faithfully and was a loving "big brother" to them and others.
Josh is survived by his loving parents: his mother, Jo Ann and his father, Mike, both of Plymouth; and by two younger brothers, Benjamin Joseph Wayne Fisher, a seventh grader and Nickolas Derrik James Fisher, a sixth grader, all at home at 10557 Muckshaw Road, Plymouth.
His maternal grandparent, Barbara A. Boggs and paternal grandparents, Anthony M. and Olive E. Fisher, all of Plymouth and Marjorie Reinhold, a maternal great-grandmother of Logansport also survive along with numerous aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
Josh was preceded in death by grandparents Bill Massey, Okle Whitesell, Leah Hunnicutt, Lavon Reinholt and Dale Boggs.
Visitation and sharing of memories of Josh with his family will be on Sunday, March 7, 2004, from 1 to 8 p.m. in the Johnson-Danielson Funeral Home, 1100 N. Michigan St., Plymouth. At 7:30 p.m. a Scripture Service will be held.
