Mrs. Fischer was born May 27, 1921, in Ranger, Texas.
She graduated from Breckenridge High School in Breckenridge, Texas, in 1939. She attended business college in Dallas and worked for Jake Sandifer Oil Company as a secretary.
She met and married
the love of her life — Elmer Fischer — at Camp Barkley Army Chapel on Jan. 15, 1944, in Abilene, Texas. Betty lived in Kermit, Texas, with her parents — Charles and Inez Giller while Elmer fought in the European front during World War II. Elmer preceded her in death in 1999 after 55 years together.

Her love of life gave her the strength to endure asthma, heart problems, breast cancer, hip and knee replacement, lung disease, and diabetes. Her care and concern for others was her special gift in this world.
Betty loved to travel with her family. Probably, her happiest time was on picnics with family members. She had a Texas-sized heart of compassion and love for all. Betty lived life to the fullest. Many of us are blessed to have shared this life with her. We will never forget her. We will rejoice at the day we can see her again.
