FISCHER, Laurie Jeanne Fischer

Laurie Jeanne Fischer (formerly Raynard) of Listowel passed away at Hospice of Waterloo Region on Sunday, June 15, 2025 in her 59th year, after a brief but courageous battle with lung cancer.

Mother of Dr. Alex (Phil) Raynard of Summerside, PEI, Josh (Madison) Raynard of Tiverton, and Emma (Will) Raynard of Petersburg, and remembered by their father Dwayne Raynard of Brussels. Special friend to Dave McIntosh of Elmira. Sister of Steven Fischer of Coquitlam, B.C. Remembered and loved also by her many aunts, uncles, cousins, and friends.

Predeceased by her parents Donald and Jeanne (Pearson) Fischer, and grandparents Hartley and Mary (Wilton) Fischer and George and Isabel (Cardiff) Pearson.

Before retiring, Laurie worked as a high school teacher—a role she poured her heart into. She was passionate about her students, found deep friendships among her fellow teachers, and stayed connected with many of them long after she left the classroom.

At home, she found comfort in crocheting, the companionship of her dogs Willow and Oakley, and the company of those she loved. She enjoyed the chance to travel when she could, taking a few memorable trips that she spoke of often.

Visitation will be held at the Eaton Funeral Home, Listowel, on Wednesday from 2:00 to 4:00 and 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. The funeral service will be held at Knox Presbyterian Church, Listowel, on Thursday, June 19, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. Reception to follow at Parkview Gardens. Interment in Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Ethel.
