Pearl Cooper Fischer

Pearl Cooper Fischer, age 82, of Erwin, passed away on Monday, March 11, 2024, at the Center on Aging and Health. A native of Poplar, NC, Pearl is a daughter of the late Bernie and Viola (Bryant) Cooper. She attended Erwin Church of God and was a seamstress by trade. She loved sewing and was happy to do it for everyone. Pearl loved everyone and to know her was to love her in return. In her time at Center on Aging and Health, she was voted in as the Resident Committee President and the Valentine Queen. It was also stated that they had never had as many residents show up for activities as they did after Pearl came to live there. She loved singing and thoroughly enjoyed her time shared with Chaplain Karl Gasser singing hymns. In addition to her parents, Pearl is preceded in death by her loving husband Arthur William "Bill" Fischer; daughter, Donna Blimline; brothers: Eston Cooper and Mack Cooper, great-granddaughter Candice Smoker and great-great-grandson Carver Parrish.

The family would like to offer special thanks to the nurses and staff of Amedisys Hospice, especially Becky Allen; the nurses and staff of the Center on Aging and Health, especially Becky Greenwell who was with her from day one until the very end; and to Reverend Kevin Laws and Reverend Karl Gasser for all of the love and care provided to her during this time.
