Filling a room with her sharp wit, jokes, and laughter, Carolyn loved life and her family. She was deeply treasured by her children and grandchildren and enjoyed spoiling them.

Until her stroke in 2009, she also volunteered with Meals on Wheels. She and Billy moved to Chamberlain, South Dakota in 2010 to live with their son Mike before moving to Sanford Chamberlain Care Center. Even though her words were few after her stroke, she made friends with all those she came across. Carolyn leaves a legacy of love, laughter, and fierce loyalty for her family and friends.
Carolyn is survived by her husband, Billy Fisher of Chamberlain, South Dakota; children; Cindy Bunch & husband Darel of Durant, Oklahoma, Bill Fisher of Clyde, Texas, and Mike Fisher and wife April of Chamberlain, South Dakota; grandchildren, Amanda Bunch Cresse, Stephanie Bunch Gooch, Timothy Kister, Elizabeth Flatt, Jon Fisher, Gabe Bunch, Nick Fisher, Krystal Fisher Allen, Daniel Fisher, Sarah Fisher Pauley, Miranda Fisher and Seth Fisher; great-grandchildren, Hannah J., Jakin, Keely, Logan, Avalon, Faith, Billy Don, Nicholas, Baer, Mariah, Ashlyn, Brynleigh and one great-grandbaby on the way; special sister-in-law, Pat Bigbee; special niece, Becky McMurray; and numerous other family and friends.
Carolyn was preceded in death by her parents, Horace and Iva Wells; brother, L.D. Wells; sisters, Eva Lee Wells and Myrlene Smith; daughter-in-law, Debbie Fisher; and grandchildren, Zachary Fisher and Emily Fisher.
In lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Merkel Meals on Wheels, 111 Taylor St, Merkel, Texas 79536 in memory of Carolyn.
