Obituary

Carol A. Fisher, 92, passed away June 22, 2026. She was born February 1, 1934, the daughter of Arnulf and Ida (Tiedeman) Schwarz. She was a graduate of Middleton High School and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

She married Thomas R. Fisher on June 17, 1956. They made their home in Beaver Dam, WI, where Carol taught first grade and remedial reading until retiring in 1999. In 2009, after Tom retired from a career in banking, they moved to Sun Prairie, WI.

Carol enjoyed reading and music. At various times during her life, she played the piano, marimba, church organ, and drums. She was a member of Sun Prairie United Methodist Church where she sang in the choir, PEO, AAUW, and Delta Zeta. She and Tom took many memorable trips domestically and abroad, often with the Wisconsin Alumni Association. They were blessed with two daughters: Ann (Steve) Sturner and Amy (Tom Lorenz) Fisher, and grandchildren Michelle and Catherine Sturner.

She is survived by her daughters and granddaughters; a brother, Rev. James (Beverly) Schwarz; stepsister Evelyn Randall; nephews Mark and Eric Schwarz; and many cousins.

She was preceded in death by her beloved husband, parents and in-laws; stepmother Leah (Severson) Schwarz; stepsister Carol Jean Arnold; niece Beth (Schwarz) Schultz; brother-in-law Don Fisher; sister-in-law Audrey Fisher, nephew Steve Fisher and many aunts, uncles, cousins, and good friends.

Private burial will take place at Oakwood Cemetery, Beaver Dam.

The family wishes to express their deepest gratitude to the staff at Heritage Monona and Agrace for the compassionate care and support provided to Carol in recent years. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to the Agrace Foundation.
