Mrs. Fisher was born May 3, 1934 in Stanly county, a daughter of the late L. L. (Lonnie) and Verna Barbee Liles. She was also preceded in death by her husband, Arthur Fisher, 5 sisters and 7 brothers.

Latha was a very active lady. She was a former employee of Penn Carol Hosiery Mill, then went into the restaurant business where she managed several different restaurants. One of her passions was sewing, so she turned that into a business in Mt. Pleasant, opening the Mt. Pleasant Fabric and Fashion. She was an excellent seamstress, making wedding gowns, costumes, and the latest fashions for family and friends.

Latha was very involved in her children’s lives and activities. She had been a longtime scouter since the 1970’s. She also loved cooking for her family, boy scout events, and family functions. Latha enjoyed gardening and was a longtime member of Mt. Olive Lutheran Church. She was a wonderful mother, sister and friend, and will be dearly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Left to cherish her memory are her children, Greta Hatley of Concord, and Greg Fisher and wife, Nicole of Kannapolis; granddaughter, Erza Violet Hatley of Oregon; step-grandsons, Jacob and Nicholas Wingler; sister, Evelyn Hobbs of Concord, numerous nieces, nephews and other loving relatives and friends.
