Christine Coates Fisher passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by family on September 30, 2022, at the age of 91. She was born on November 18, 1930, in Inman, SC to Luther B.

Moving to Hendersonville as a young adult, she graduated from Flat Rock High School. After marrying Herman, they moved to Charlotte, NC where her five children were born. After moving back to Hendersonville in 1970, she became a member of French Broad Baptist Church where she was active in the women’s ministry as well as the choir and numerous prayer groups and bible studies. In addition to raising five children, she worked in the dental office of Dr. James Kessaris until retiring in 2006.

    She was a faithful wife and mother and also a faithful follower of Jesus. Now she gets to be with Him forever more, surely hearing those words, “Well done good and faithful servant”!
