Mary Louise Fisher, 16

Mary Louise Fisher, 16, of Hayden, was welcomed into Heaven on Aug. 14, 2011, passing peacefully with friends and family at her side at Sacred Heart Medical Center.

Mary had lived fearlessly with a heart condition for nine years and enjoyed life fully in spite of it. One look at her beautiful smile and you would know how dear she was.

Mary was born to Mark and Raelene Fisher in Coeur d'Alene on Sept. 28, 1994. She would have been a junior at North Idaho Christian School in September. Mary loved the Lord, loved her friends and was always eager to be with her many relatives. She enjoyed board games with her family, photography, baking pies, playing varsity tennis for Coeur d'Alene High School and basketball for North Idaho Christian School, and was well on her way of achieving her goal to be the valedictorian of her graduating class in 2013.

Mary is survived by her mother and father, Mark and Raelene Fisher of Hayden; her sister and brother-in-law, Sarah and Jesse Suitter of Denver; her brother Danny of Hayden; her grandparents, Doug and Betty Fisher of Hayden; her grandmother Peggy Ramsey of Missouri; her grandfather, Raymond Bier of Fresno, Calif.; and many aunts, uncles and cousins.

A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held at 11 a.m. Monday, Aug. 22, 2011, at the Lake City Community Church. Yates Funeral Home is in charge of the arrangements. Please sign Mary's guest book at www.yatesfuneralhomes.com.

The family requests donations be made to the Mary Fisher Memorial Fund/North Idaho Christian School Foundation sent to 251 W. Miles Ave., Hayden, ID 83835.
