JOAN A. LOUCK FISHER

Joan A. Louck Fisher, a resident of Willow Springs, passed away Wednesday, July 27, 2022, while at Brook Haven Healthcare in West Plains. She was born June 30, 1935, in Richmond, VA to Julian and Arline Godsey and was 87 years old.

Joan grew up and attended the schools in Virginia. She was principally a homemaker, but her life was spent showing and breeding American Staffordshire Terriers. It has been said that "her life was caring for her dogs". She had many over the years that were special to her; however, she was particularly fond of Waylon and Tia, who will miss her considerably.

She was preceded in death by her parents; her brother, Julian and his wife, Julia Godsey; and her husbands: Merle Louck and Donald Fisher.

Joan is survived by her daughters, Carolyn Lindsey of Boise, ID and Debra Fox of Willow Springs, and her son, Merle Louck and Rosa of Phoenix, AZ. She is further survived by her grandchildren: Aaron, Zach, and Brielle all of Phoenix; nephews, Michael, Jay, Gary, Julian, and Eddie; and nieces, Janice, Terri, Wendy, and several great nieces and nephews.

In lieu of flowers, the family respectfully requests memorial donations be made online to the ASPCA, or mailed to: ASPCA, 520 Eighth Ave. 7th Floor, New York, N.Y. 10018 in Joan's memory, the organization that held a special place in her heart.

The family would like to thank the staff and residents at Brook Haven, especially Char and Whitney for all the loving care they bestowed on Joan while she was a resident. They went above and beyond showing compassion to her and even nicknamed her "Beautiful".

A private memorial service will be held at a later date in Boise, ID. Arrangements are under the direction of Willow Funeral Home, LLC. Online condolences may be left at www.willowspringsfuneralhome.com.
