Lorna Mae (Smith) Fisher Obituary - Visitation & Funeral Information

Lorna Mae (Smith) Fisher, 78, of Manchester, returned home to our loving God in Heaven and died peacefully at Pleasant Acres Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, on Tuesday, May 26, 2020. Born in York on February 18, 1942, she was the daughter of the late Russell and Evelyn (Henry) Smith. Lorna was a 1960 graduate of Central York High School. She retired from the Salvation Army in York where she was a Family Services caseworker for many years. Lorna enjoyed watching musical movies – her favorite song was “Some Enchanted Evening” from South Pacific – and listening to the music of Johnny Mathis and her favorite singer, Barry Manilow. She might have loved Barry more than her own children (her children are okay with that). She was a diehard Pittsburgh Steelers fan, loved the Baltimore Orioles and Philadelphia Phillies, and watching golf. She also loved whoopie pies, Peanut M&Ms, and made delicious spaghetti sauce. Prior to getting married and having children, Lorna was involved in many community organizations, traveled and had parties with her large group of friends, and drove a cool dark green convertible. She was a role model for how to live as an independent, stylish woman. Lorna had a beautiful singing voice and the cutest laugh in the world. Everyone she met loved her and she loved everyone she met. Lorna is survived by her daughter, Abigail L. Fisher, with whom she resided, her son (jokingly and lovingly known as her “favorite” child) Jacob B. Fisher of Leola and his wife, Melissa E. Galech; her loving sister, Jennifer Glashauser and her husband, Jerry; and brothers, Larry Smith and his wife, Joann, and Jeffrey Smith. She is also survived by her devoted niece, Melissa Smith Strine, her husband Kevin Strine, and nephews Matthew Boyer and Dennis Smith. She was preceded in death by her brother, Bradley Smith, her niece, Kristin Boyer Squef, and her beloved dachshund, Gretel. A memorial service to celebrate Lorna’s life will be held at the convenience of the family when we can all get together safely. In lieu of flowers, contributions in Lorna’s memory may be made to The Salvation Army of York, 50 E.
