Eleanore E. Fischer, 87, of the town of Farmington, passed away on Monday, May 2, 2011, at Kathy Hospice in the town of Polk.
She was born on July 5, 1923, in West Bend, the daughter of the late Ignatius and Erna (Jacobson) Schneider, and on September 23, 1944, she was united in marriage to Howard Fischer at St. Boniface Catholic Church in Germantown. Howard preceded Eleanore in death on June 13, 1998.
Eleanore was a member of St. Michael’s Catholic Church in St. Michaels. She was a devoted wife and loving mother. Eleanore will fondly be remembered as an awesome baker who prepared special birthday treats for family members, a wide variety of delicious Christmas cookies, mouth-watering tortes and cakes.

She will be deeply missed by her family and by all who knew her.
