Lauretta Fischbach

March 12, 1945 — February 3, 2024

Lauretta "Laurie" Fischbach, age 78, of Temperance, MI passed away Saturday, February 3, 2024 at home with loving family by her side. She was born on March 12, 1945 to Berdell and Ethel (Spillett) Grimes in Detroit, Michigan. Laurie graduated from Monroe High School. She worked as a dental assistant for many years with Dr. Michael Granata D.D.S. who also became like family to Laurie. She liked shopping, lunch with her family, playing keno and gardening. Laurie was an excellent cook; among other things, she will always be remembered for her cheeseball. She loved taking family vacations to the Florida beaches.

Laurie's greatest passion was the love she had for her family; especially her grandchildren, they were the light of her life. She had a heart of gold, had the greatest sense of humor but was also the most compassionate, caring and humble woman one could know. Laurie's smile, spirit and loving nature will truly be missed by all who knew and loved her.

In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her husband, Thomas Fischbach; siblings, Joseph Grimes, John Grimes, and Peggy Donofrio; aunts, Jane Spillett and Myrtle LaForge. Left to cherish Laurie's memory are her loving children, Patti (Gregory) Evans, Kelly (Eric Pfaff) Galenski, Jon (Rowiy) Fischbach, James Lesczynski; loving companion of 25 years, Terrence Darr; grandchildren, Victoria, Emily, Austin, Michael, Eve, Allison, Bradon and Ean; sister, Patricia (Gary) Russeau; and many nieces, nephews and dear friends.
