Millie Fisher passed peacefully in her sleep on April 14, 2016, in Spirit Lake, Idaho. Born Millie Hamby to William and Hulda Hamby on Nov. 5, 1923, in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho, she was the ninth of 11 children, all of which preceded her in death.

She was preceded in death by her husband, Slim Fisher.

Millie was a wonderful and strong woman, whose accomplishments in life are innumerable. She will be remembered as a loving foster mother of many different children, a dude ranch cook, a school bus driver and owner of Millie’s Mayfair Café in Yakima, Wash.
