(nee Doughty)
Passed away peacefully at the Riverside Place Long Term Care Home on June 19, 2024, at the age of 81 years, and predeceased by her devoted husband of 59 years John Leonard Fisk. She was a loving mother to Amanda Binnie (Cameron) and Aaron Fisk (Elizabeth), and a caring and proud grandmother to Megan (Lauren), Joshua, Hannah, Zoe (Anthony), Liam (Samantha), Nolan, and Isabelle. She was predeceased by her sister Linda Doughty, brother Steven (Jill) Doughty, parents Raymond and Margaret (nee Storey) Doughty, and in-laws Leonard and Freda (nee Nightingale) Fisk.
Karen was born May 27, 1943, in the city she loved Chatham, Ontario. She graduated with a Registered Nurse’s Diploma from the St. Joseph’s School of Nursing in Chatham, Ontario, in 1963, and worked in operating rooms at hospitals in Chatham, Windsor, and across Ontario. She earned her bachelor’s degree in history at the University of Windsor in 1994, where she was able to explore her love of art history. Karen’s oil and watercolour paintings can be found in her children’s and grandchildren’s homes. She was also a wonderful cook who loved to entertain and had a great sense of humor. Karen loved red wine and coffee – but not dessert – reading novels and the newspaper, playing bridge, doing crosswords, and, of course, smoking cigarettes.
For more than 60 years, Karen remained close to her Chatham friends (Marian, Rosemary, and Fred and Bonnie) and a network of great friends, notably Sharon, Elaine and Don, Helen, Robert and Ron, Pat, Larry and Elliot, and Noelene and Sylvio. All of whom have expressed how much they will miss her. Mom will be greatly missed by her family, who are fortunate and grateful to have had such a kind, loving, honest, and supportive mother and grandmother.
There will be no funeral, at her request, and a celebration of life will be announced later. For those wishing, donations can be made to Ronald McDonald House Charities and condolences sent to Amanda (afbinnie@gmail.com) and Aaron (afisk@uwindsor.ca). Special thanks to the nurses, staff, and Dr. Loebach in the Pelee Island wing of the Riverside Place Long Term Care Home for their exceptional care of and friendship to our mother.
