Fisher, Gertrude Marie, "Trudy", age 90, passed away peacefully on February 9, 2026 surrounded by her family. Trudy was born on October 11,1935 (however her mother insisted she was born on the 10th of October!) in Detroit, Michigan. Trudy met her late husband Bob in the summer of 1957. On a trip to Mexico with her friend Maryann, they met a group of guys from Chicago. One of the guys asked if they could come to Detroit and visit. They also asked if they could bring an old army buddy from Detroit, Bob Fisher. They asked Trudy to call Bob up and invite him. The rest is history. Trudy married Bob on October 11,1958, with whom she shared nearly 65 wonderful years of marriage. Together, they raised their beloved children: Bishop Robert J. Fisher, Michele (John) Paris, Barb (Eric) Kimmel, and Jeff Fisher (Jenny Rundels). She was the dearest grandmother of Alec Paris, Alison (David) Chung, Hannah Kimmel, and Kyle Kimmel. Trudy is survived by her in-laws, Don Flesher, Virginia Fisher and Patricia Fisher. She leaves behind many caring nieces, nephews, cousins, and close friends. Trudy was a devoted Catholic and was very proud of her faith. The rosary was her constant companion. She was described as an inspiration and example of faith and love. She was an incredibly kind, patient, and warm-hearted woman who lived by her morals. Her caring nature led to numerous selfless acts throughout her lifetime. She was an example of a life well lived. Trudy found tremendous joy spending time with her family whom she always put first. Trudy loved camping, gardening, canning, cooking, reading, crafts, basket weaving and baking. She also enjoyed volunteering at the Missionaries of Charity Soup Kitchen.
