Obituary

Virginia "Ginny" Fisher went to be with The Lord at the age of 88 on October 2, 2025. She passed peacefully, having lived a full and rich life - loving her family, friends, and serving the Lord all her days.

Ginny was born to Werner & Josephine Doellstedt on March 11, 1937 in Chicago, Illinois. She was profoundly influenced by her mother Josephine, who gave her a strong foundation of faith and discipleship that lasted a lifetime and whose roots continue to grow deep in her remaining family to this day.

Professionally, Ginny owned and operated Fisher Arts & Crafts in Danville, California before becoming the Executive Assistant to the City of Fairfield Chief of Police. In addition, Ginny played an integral part in her late husband Jim Fisher's nationally acclaimed remodeling business and was active in her local church and supported a number of ministries that were dear to her heart. Ginny enjoyed oil and watercolor painting, travel, loved the great outdoors, and was an avid skier and backpacker.

After the passing of her husband Jim Fisher, Ginny was blessed to meet Milt Schmidt, another soulmate with whom she formed an indelible bond that created many lasting memories for both her and her extended family.

Ginny is survived by her three children shared with former husband David Minto; Denise, Kevin, and Suzanne, four grandchildren; Marisa, Brianna, Brandon, and Joshua, and four great grandchildren; Mackenzie, Dylan, Daniel, and Sofia.

A Celebration of Life is planned for November 15, 2025, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at 1520 Wood Duck Lane in Meadow Vista, California. In lieu of flowers you may donate to one of Ginny’s favorite ministries, TEAM (The Evangelical Alliance Mission) www.team.org. We welcome you to share your favorite memories of Ginny on the memory wall.

Ginny is one of the most gracious, classy, and loving ladies we have ever met. Her kindness and grace touched our hearts. We will be forever thankful to God for giving us the opportunity to know her and love her. Thank you to all her family for the celebration of her life.

Jim and Ginny were my neighbors here in Lake Tahoe in Kingswood Village. I skied with Jim a few times and even when he had only one long above the age of 70 he out skied me on the steepest run at Northstar. They were both very lovely people who personified goodness, kindness, warmth. Jamie

I love Ginny and will be so happy to see her when we meet again. She was a dear friend- wise and gracious- and I'll cherish my memories of years of friendship. We traded book suggestions back and forth often. Her recommendations led to me to some of my current favorite authors. I always enjoyed the time I spent in her company and will remember fondly her one-of-a-kind way of being in the world. Now she'll grace her extended life in fellowship with Jesus.
