Vickie Fisher – November 25, 2019

Last night we lost a sister, aunt, friend, neighbor and fellow Coke collector. While I’ve had to write quite a few of these notices over the years this is without a doubt the hardest to put into words. Vickie Fisher passed away last night after a

hard fought battle with cancer. There is so much that I want and need to say, yet no words right now seem fitting to describe the impact of this loss to my family and all of those who knew her well. Vickie has been a part of our lives for over 30 years and she will be here for the NEXT 30 in countless memories and thoughts. Rest In Peace Vickie’

Margaret Shine Moffitt and her husband Robert were both killed in an traffic accident, 9/4/12, in Wyoming. Margaret never meet a stranger, had an infectious laugh and just loved life!! Services will be held in Leesburg, FL.  Our thoughts and prayers go out to the family.

Sherwood Arlen Hall, 63, of Lawrenceville, GA passed away on Thursday, March 8, 2018.

Born on August 17, 1954 in Minneapolis, MN he was the son of Sherwood D. and Henrietta K. Hall.  Sherwood was a loving father, grandfather, brother, uncle, and friend. He enjoyed camping out at Road Atlanta for the races, going trout fishing with his sons and friends, having cook-outs and bonfires, and could build one of the best fires in the fireplace. He would always come up with witty comments to make others laugh and enjoyed watching and talking baseball and football with his sons.  Sherwood was an amazing artist and loved to doodle.  He worked in the Automobile Business for approximately 43 years.
