Evelyn Fischer, 95

Evelyn C. Fischer, a longtime resident of Montauk, died peacefully at the Seabury at Fieldhome, an assisted living facility in Cortlandt Manor, N.Y., on Oct. 30. She was 95.

Mrs. Fischer was born in the Bronx on Nov. 28, 1918, to Ole and Jenny Christiansen. The family later moved to Pelham, N.Y., where she graduated from Pelham Memorial High School. Prior to getting married, she worked for The New York Times.

On Sept. 5, 1941, she married Lynn J. Fischer in the Bronx. The couple first lived for a year in the Fleetwood area of Mount Vernon in southern Westchester County. They later built a house in the Chester Park section of Pelham, where they raised their three children. While there, Mrs. Fischer was an active member of the Community Church of the Pelhams, as well as the Girl Scouts, the PTA, and the American Legion Ladies Auxiliary.

In 1976, the couple moved to Montauk, living in the house that her parents built in 1947 on Fleming Road. They resided there until 2006. While living in Montauk, Mrs. Fischer was active in the Montauk Community Church, and also volunteered for Meals on Wheels and the Montauk Library.

Mrs. Fischer is survived by her husband of 73 years, who lives in Cortlandt Manor, and by her three children, Peter Fischer of Panama City, Panama, Wendy Graham of Cortlandt Manor, and Jeffrey Fischer of La Porte, Ind. In addition, eight grandchildren and five great-grandchildren survive her.

A memorial service and burial will take place at the Fort Hill Cemetery in Montauk at a later date.
