Dorothy Marie “Pat” Fisher, 96, of Galveston, passed away Wednesday, May 13, 2020. She was born July 9, 1923, in Galveston. Pat was a loving wife and homemaker, who was always busy and involved with her children’s activities. She served as room mother for all three of her daughters and at one time was the longest running Girl Scout troop leader, spanning all three of her daughters’ Girl Scout tenure. She was also proud to serve on the YWCA board. In her 40’s, Pat began a career in banking and eventually retired from UTMB. She was an active lifelong member of St. Patrick Catholic Church. Pat was also a lifelong member of “The Club,” a group started at Ball High School that kept going for 75+ years. “The Club” was a constant in Pat’s life, meeting every other Monday night for decades. For many of the most recent years, “The Club” was down to 8 original members, who were a very tight-knit group that became family. With Pat’s passing, “The Club” has only one remaining member now.
