Journal entry by Maria Samot —
Tasha attended college in the mountains of Jackson County, before making Durham NC the family’s home. Her working life was devoted to serving others in the fields of intellectual and developmental disabilities, and to healthcare education and technology. She was a passionate advocate for those she supported in every role she had.
Tasha enjoyed taking her family to special places in the mountains where she loved spending time growing up. In her words, “The most special name I’ve ever been called is ‘Mom.’ My greatest pride has been my children, and while I may not be here to tell them down the road, I already know the content of their character. I know their hearts. I know the incredible people they will become. I have cherished being their mother.”
Tasha is survived by her loving husband, Sam Fisher and her three wonderful children Emma Fisher, Addi Fisher and Noah Fisher.
