Lori K. Fisher, age 69, of Dodgeville passed away unexpectedly on Tuesday, April 21, 2026, to be with the heavenly father. Lori was born on November 12, 1956 in Darlington, Wisconsin to Roy and Regina (Boyle) Carpenter. Her siblings include Brother Michael and Sisters Sharon, Karen and Carol.
Lori graduated in 1975 from Darlington High School and went on to earn a B.S. and M.S. in counseling psychology from UW-Platteville. She had many good friends in college especially the Kappa Alpha Sigma Sorority and Alpha Gamma Rho Fraternity.
On July 29, 1983, Lori Married Dr. Michael C. Fisher in Platteville, WI. Lori and Michael went the dog route for children and were “foster failures” as there was never a dog, they fostered that they did not keep.
Lori was employed at UW-Platteville, Marquette University and the Medical College of Wisconsin in College Student Personnel. She then worked with her husband Michael in his Dental Practice until he retired in 2018.
Lori was preceded in death by her brother Michael Carpenter, her parents, and sisters Karen and Carol as well as many pets. She is survived by her husband Dr. Michael C. Fisher of Dodgeville, 2 golden retrievers and Sister Sharon Ward of Fitchburg, WI
A person who would give anyone, anything they needed, Lori requests that we treat others with dignity and respect in these challenging times. The family requests no gifts.
A celebration of Lori’s life will be held in the future.
Memorials in Lori’s name may be given to Golden Retriever Rescue of Wisconsin and the Iowa County Human Society and sent to Gorgen Funeral Services, 400 East Grace Street, Dodgeville, WI 53533.
Thank you to all of Lori’s friends for keeping her happy. She will be greatly missed.
