Shyla Raye Fisher

August 28, 1955- February 3, 2022

Shyla Raye Fisher, 66, Bolivar, Mo went to be with her heavenly Father (who we have no doubt, was lovingly greeted by her at those pearly gates with a GIANT hug & a kiss on the cheek!) on Thursday February 3, 2022 at CMH in Bolivar, Mo.

She was born on August 28, 1955 in Kansas City, Mo to Dorothy Jean Besch- Cox. She attended grade school at St. Mary's Catholic School in Nevada, Mo and later attended high school in both Nevada and Metz Mo.

She married Joe Dale Fisher on October 10, 1981 in Salem, Mo at the home of Reverend Parker. She was a good Christian woman who loved the Lord with all her heart. She was baptized in the river on June 24, 2018, something she was extremely proud of!

She worked at Wal-Mart for a short time as well CMH and owned and operated Fisher's Woodcrafts for many years. Shyla was very talented and enjoyed crafting of almost any kind, she loved painting and taught painting classes in her store. She also loved crocheting & quilting, making many beautiful things of which her family and friends will treasure dearly.

She had an outgoing personality and was very much a "people person" and loved talking to just about anyone. Didn't matter if she knew them or not, she could talk for hours about anything & everything! She was a wonderful, kind, caring, giving and loving soul. (who could also be quite stubborn at times!) She was someone who put others before herself, always willing to help whenever or wherever she could.

She was a member of the Brighton Baptist Church and truly loved her church family.  She especially loved her duty of making coffee each Sunday morning, of course always making sure SHE had the BIGGEST  cup!

Shyla was proceeded in death by her loving husband Joe Dale Fisher and her long time partner/husband at heart Rodger "Buff" Buffington.
