Karen Fisher

Following a six-year adventure in northern California, they settled with their children to be closer to Karen’s family in Worland. Karen and Leonard took on the challenge of owning their own waterbed and furniture store in Greybull. They moved to Basin where their kids finished up their formal education. After they closed the furniture store, Karen took on a job at Wheelers IGA as a cashier for many years. Karen was a master floral and vegetable gardener, voracious reader, puzzle solver and avid cross stitcher. She loved taking daily sunset walks throughout Basin.

She took pride in earning “Yard of the Week.” In her later years, Karen and Leonard moved to Rapid City, S.D., for a short time before ultimately landing in southern California to be closer to her girls. Karen and Leonard loved taking road trips and exploring quaint little towns throughout California. They ended their traveling adventures with a special road trip taken through the southern states of the U.S. before the pandemic. During her retirement years, Karen enjoyed.

Karen was preceded in death by her parents Algot and Leah, her beloved sister Sharon Crichton, her husband Leonard and brothers-in-law Earle Crichton and Donald Roe. 

She is survived by her son Stan, of Rapid City, S.D.; twin daughters Dagmar (JR) Rea and Kory McPherson of Murrieta, Calif.; grandchildren Samantha Schwab, Rachel Stice, Wyatt Fisher, Alexander Rea, Abby Rea and Carolyn McPherson, great grandchildren, a niece, nephews, great nephews and nieces, cousins, and her sister-in-law Delores Roe of Oregon.

A celebration of life will be held in June to honor and celebrate Karen and Leonard on their newest adventure together, wherever that may be. In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation to your favorite charity in memory of Mom.
