Bernice Fisher

Bernice Fisher, of Corsicana, Texas, went to be with the Lord Jesus Christ, Saturday morning, June 18, 2016. She was born March 10, 1922, in Drumright, Oklahoma, received a Master’s Degree and served as a Registered Nurse in Oklahoma, and later, in the Dallas, Texas area for many years. A memorial Service will be held for Ms. Bea at Park Meadows Church, 3401 Country Club Road, Corsicana, Texas, at 10:30 a.m., Wednesday, June 22. Bea's life work was to help people. As a nurse she met and ministered to thousands of people in both physical and spiritual need. As a strong Christian, Bea faced life courageously, and joyfully, with patience, and with never a complaint. While as a nurse in Enid General Hospital, in Oklahoma, Bea met a patient who the other personnel didn't want to deal with. Being one who never knew a stranger for long, Bea not only got the patient cared for but also fell in love with Otis Fisher (the grumpy patient) and later married him! They shared a wonderful and fruitful life together, in both good times and bad. During retirement years she and her husband, Otis, moved to Corsicana, Texas, where they renovated one of the fine, old mansions in Corsicana, and also operated a furniture refinishing and clock repair shop. Also, they hosted Home Bible Studies several days a week for many years. People from different towns and different denominations attended and were blessed by Bro. Otis’ amazing and deep Bible teaching, and Ms. Bea’s wise insights and her lively sense of humor, and quick wit. Bernice was one of eleven children born to Jesse and Martha Bull. She is survived by one sister and one brother, Ina (Sis) Adler of Caldwell, Idaho, and Bob Bull, of Dallas, Texas. She was preceded in death by her husband Otis, her daughter Beverley West, and eight of her siblings who were: Five brothers: Carlos Campbell; Mack Reynolds; Arthur Elisha; Wiley Arnold; and William Neal. Three Sisters: Hattie Mozelle Curtis; Murl Smith; and Martha Louise Henson. Bernice leaves sadness and loneliness mingled with gladness and celebration in the hearts of many friends, and relatives. She will be greatly missed by her church, Park Meadows Church, of Corsicana, Texas, where she was a most wonderful example to the young women of the church for eighteen years, and where we all miss her delightful desserts, her soft voice, and her deep wisdom. She remains a part of our lives, and holds a permanent and special place in our hearts. “That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children, To be discreet, chaste, keepers at home, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed.” --Titus 2:4–5
