Sadly on November 13th, 2021, Barbara Dale Fisher passed away peacefully at age 79 from end stage congestive heart failure at the Beausejour Hospital with her family by her side.
Barbara leaves behind her 4 children; sons Stephen, daughters Aimey and Erin; Scott, children Luke, Jill and Callie; Kent, children Alyssa and Drake; daughter Karen and son-in-law Vince; plus 9 great grandchildren; many nieces, nephews and her sister-in-law Ethel.
Barbara was predeceased by her parents Claud and Hilda Fisher, sister Jean and brothers Clifford and Norman.
Barbara was born April 18, 1942 in St. Lambert, QC. She enjoyed an idyllic childhood where she was doted on by her older siblings. She loved to tell stories about her family, how good they were to her and how lucky she was to have them.
Barbara met and fell in love with Keith Antle and were married in 1960. Unfortunately, after 37 years of marriage they divorced but she kept her vow to love him until the end. They had 4 children while still in Quebec and moved the family to Winnipeg in about 1971 where they settled in East Kildonan where they set deep roots in the community. Barbara was quick to make friends, many of which remain to this day.
Barbara went to work to provide ‘the fun things’ for the kids as they got older. She held positions with CIBC and TD Bank but really came into her own later in life when she became a recreation worker in Whitemouth, then Beausejour and finally Kin Place in Oakbank. She delighted in entertaining the residents by playing the oldies on her piano, telling stories and making French fries with them.
After retiring she suffered her first heart attack and has been fighting for ‘just one more day’ ever since. She had an uncanny knack for bouncing back. A year and a half ago she got the news that time was short. She moved to Tyndall, MB to live with her daughter and son-in-law.
She loved country life. Sitting in the sun, watching Karen putter in the yard, the cul-de-sac kids playing in the street, Golf cart rides with the grand dogs, visits from her many new Tyndall friends and most of all her grandchildren and weekend get-a-ways to her son Kent’s. She soaked it all up.
She was not just our mother. She was our best friend, our strongest supporter. Our hearts are broken and we can’t imagine life without her.
Thank you to Dr. Jeff Wiebe for always taking Karen’s calls, Palliative Dr. Clark for the house calls, the Interlake-Eastern homecare nurses and aides for everything they did for our Mom. We couldn’t have kept her happy and at home without you.
Beausejour Hospital has our utmost respect and gratitude for the care provided during her final days. You laughed with her and cried with us. We appreciate everyone there, Dr. Hannah and Dr. Schmidt. So many nurses and HCA’s. Scotty and Dave, thanks for being you.

Condolences for the family of “Barbara Dale Fisher”
My condolences to you Karen and your family. Corren let me know, hugs for you!
Thank so much!
Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. Barb will be so missed by alot of people.
I had the honour of being one of Barbs home care ladies. Barbie (as I called her) & I grew a great friendship and she loved seeing my ever growing belly over the months. She knitted my little girl hats for when we brought her home. I will forever miss her laugh, her beautiful smile and love for her grand doggies. I’ll miss you Barbie girl !
My sincere condolences Karen & Vince – big hugs to you all. ♥️
Awe how sweet. She did enjoy your visits. Thank you for everything you did for her. We couldn’t have kept her at home and happy as long as we did without you.
To say I am saddened by the passing of Barb is an understatement – gosh we sure shared some good times together. I lived in the same Condo building as Barb for over 20 years and we became quite close in that span of time. A few of us would venture out for lunches once a week and Barb of course (Uber Lady as I called her) would be the chauffeur. She was a very kind (but stubborn) human being and was always there to be a friend, advisor and critic. I loved you lots my friend.
My hubby Wilf, son Chris and myself would like to extend our deepest sympathy to Barb’s family and friends – she will be so sadly missed!!! God Bless and Keep Her
Cheerio for now my friend – until we meet again.
Awe Roberta, she loved you too and spoke fondly of you and your family. Thanks for all your help with the condo and checking in on her while she was here.
I met Barb at Kin Place and had great times with her. Condolences to her family.
Our condolences to Barbara’s family. We have many pleasant memories of her when they were living here in Whitemouth. We learned to love and appreciate you all.
My condolences to Karen and Vince, and Karen’s family. Enjoyed playing bingo and having our laughs. Just wanted to say, my sister Jean Botchar and your mom both passed on Nov 13 at Beausejour Hosp. Take care.
Awe, I’m so sorry for your loss. I didn’t realize your sister was in Beauséjour hospital. Please know that they took excellent care of my mum so I’m sure your sister was in good hands in her final days.
Big hugs to you!
I got to know Barbara as I am a long time friend of Karen and Vince’s.
I will never forget one time I had with Barbara when we drove out to Elma together. Barbara was still living in Winnipeg at the time.
I believe this will have been my first time meeting Barbara and all I can say was it was a memorable trip.
Barbara was so lovely, kind and a joy to be around. Not to mention she had one great laugh!
I would like to express my appreciation for Karen and Vince for having Barbara live with them prior to her passing. She was lucky to have you two as you were to have her.
My condolences to Karen, Vince and the rest of Barbara’s family.

That was a fun weekend! She just loved you and After that trip you guys took together, she considered you an instant friend.
Both of you are easy girls to love. Fun, lively and huge laughs! No wonder you got along so well.
Thank you for the beautiful flowers, they are stunning and will bring me much joy in the coming days.
Karen & Vince
