Barbara Jean Fischer (née Zettler)
Today, we remember Barb, loving mother of Patricia “Patty” Hepburn (Randy). Devoted and much-loved grandmother of Paulette McIntyre-Martin (Corey), Joshua Pilon (Mickey), Matthew Lajoie, Adam Hepburn (Rachael), Stephen Hepburn and David Hepburn. Precious great grandmother to Michael Pilon (Tabitha), Ambar Pilon (Jay) and Emily Martin (Travis). Cherished great-great grandmother of Julian, Riley, Bentlee, Kai and Phoenix.
Barb passed away on Sunday, November 1, 2026, at Chapman House, at the age of 91. She was born in Hanover on December 20, 1934, to William and Madeline (née Mercey) Zettler.
Dear sister of Ronnie Zettler (Susie), Kenny Zettler (Robyn), Dianne Krueger, Linda Baltzer (Bruce) and Robert Zettler. She was predeceased by her husband Jerome and brothers Harold and William (Billy) and brother-in-law Jim Krueger. She will be missed by all of her nieces and nephews, as well as her Seventh-Day Adventist Church family.
In her life, she enjoyed walking, cooking, baking, sewing quilts, crocheting, reading her bible, but most of all, spending time with her family. She kept herself busy but always had time to share with family and friends. She was a wealth of wisdom, kindness and love, and will be greatly missed.
Cremation has taken place and at her request, there will be no funeral service. Interment at the Hanover Cemetery on November 19th at 11:00 a.m.
Donations to Chapman House in Owen Sound or ADRA (Adventist Development and Relief Agency) would be appreciated as expressions of sympathy.
