GLENS FALLS --- Dorothea Ruth Fisher, 93, of Woodard St., Glens Falls, passed away peacefully Friday, May 29, 2015 at Glens Falls Hospital.

Dorothea, daughter of Percy and Eva (Brodt) Hovey, was born Nov. 24, 1921 in Glens Falls and remained there her entire life.

She graduated from Glens Falls High School and worked as a secretary at Glens Falls Insurance Co., as well as a catalog clerk at Montgomery Ward. Above all, her greatest enjoyment was sewing for herself and others. Until this year she had made a quilt almost every year and for every baby born in her family. She also spent time enjoying her flower and vegetable gardens.

In Sept. of 1945 Dorothea married Kenneth E. Fisher and spent their years together raising two boys until his passing in 1980.

When her boys were young, she was part of the PTA and a Cub Scout Leader. Dorothea was a member and active secretary of Warren County and N.Y.S. Home Bureau. She was also a member and past Matron of St. John's Eastern Star Chapter of Greenfield Center, N.Y.

When she wasn't busy at home she was traveling with her dearest companion, H. Gifford Bull, all over the country, including the Maritime Provinces of Canada, as well as Alaska and Florida where they spent time camping. Dorothea was camping up until two years ago, and loved every minute of it!

Along with her parents, Dorothea was predeceased by her husband, Kenneth; her brother, Clifford Hovey and his wife, Catherine.

Left to cherish her memory are her longtime companion, H. Gifford Bull; her two sons, Gary (Mary Jane) Fisher and James (Kristin) Fisher; four grandchildren, Terry (Donella) Fisher and their daughter, Adrianna, Kevin (Dusty) Fisher and their daughter, Avery, Percy Cole Fisher, and Sophie Fisher; extended family, Elaine Flower, and Richard and Donald DeMarsh; along with many nieces, nephews, and cousins.
