MARJORIE GRACE "Marjie" (nee Cone) FISCHER

                       May, 1952 - January 11, 2022

                                Residence: San Jose, California

Born to Don & Doris Cone, Marjorie Grace was the third of three children, after brothers Doug and Andy. They attended the Presbyterian Church in Palo Alto, CA, which set her up for a lifetime of serving the Lord. As a child she enjoyed time with family at Boy Scout Camp, cooking with her mom, playing games and singing.

In her mid-20s she rededicated her life to God after a service at Los Altos First Baptist Church; and through her participation in choir and small groups, met her husband, Kent. They married in 1980 and in the years following welcomed three children, moving to San Jose, CA. She continued her career of serving by running the church nursery, teaching Bible at AWANA, and singing in choir, all with Kent by her side. More recently she used her cooking skills to minister and connect with families at Bridges Church.

As her children entered high school, Marjie took a job in Special Education at Homestead High School, where she worked for 20 years before retiring in 2021. She brought joy to the office, was known for recruiting friends to work with her, playing pranks, and bringing in tasty home-made treats. She loved to be around people and saw each day as an opportunity to spread God’s love through her humor, food, and ability to make everyone feel cherished.

She is survived by her husband, Kent, son David (Veronica), daughter Katie Speck (Ryan), and daughter Suzie.

A Celebration of Life Service was held on Saturday, February 19th at 10:30am at Bridges Community Church in Los Altos, CA.
