Bathsheba May (Fisher) Thomander passed away at her home on January 2, 2014, just two weeks prior to her ninety-eighth birthday.
She was born in Salt Lake City on January 16, 1916 to Joseph Armstrong Fisher and Margaret May Merrill.
She was the youngest of five children and was preceded in death by her brothers, David Fisher, Clarence Fisher, and Joseph Fisher, and by her sister, Josephine Affleck.
She is survived by two children, Dawn Smith of Park City and Darryl Thomander of Palo Alto, California; as well as eleven grandchildren, twenty-nine great-grandchildren, and four great-great-grandchildren.
"Bashie" graduated from South High School and LDS Business College. She married Avon B. Thomander, of Salt Lake City, in 1938. They lived in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania; San Mateo, California; Los Angeles, California; and La Canada, California.
Avon, who died in 1976, owned and operated Plastic Fabricating Company. After Avon's death, Bashie moved to Laguna Niguel, California, where she later met and married Ashley Robison. He passed on ten years later and she then returned to Salt Lake City, where she lived in the Sugar House area for more than two decades.
She enjoyed serving in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, where she held many callings, including Relief Society President.
She was an active member of the Daughter's of the Utah Pioneers. At the time of her passing, she likely held the distinction of being the only living child of a U.S. Civil War veteran.
She was known and loved for her friendliness, easy-going manner, positive attitude, and sparkling personality. She will be missed by all.
Her resting place is next to Avon in the Salt Lake City Cemetery. A memorial service will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, January 25, 2014 at Larkin Sunset Lawn Mortuary, 2350 East 1300 South, Salt Lake City, where a viewing will be held one hour prior to the services.
