Annabelle Lois (Low) Fishburn, 83 of Cook Lake, Plymouth, Indiana died on Thursday May 10, 2018 at 2:10 p.m. at her residence in the care of her loving husband, with wonderful help from Hospice. She had been in failing health for several years.
She was born on December 29, 1934 in Niles, Michigan to Herbert and Mary (Myers) Low. Upon graduation from Niles High School in 1952, she worked for a Law firm, as well as a bank.
On October 6, 1957 in Niles, Michigan she married Loy Fishburn of Argos, Indiana, joining him there in the dairy and grain farming business. After raising 3 sons and a daughter, Loy and Ann quit the dairy and cut back on grain farming. As Loy started working full time off the farm, Ann worked as a trim carpenter at two different trailer factories, later turning the farm operation over to the boys. On November 15, 1959 Loy and Ann both accepted Christ as their Savior. Ann became very active in the church, serving as Sunday School teacher, clerk, secretary and many other duties, including the church choir.
Loy says from the time they first married, Ann always had a love for the Elderly. She was always visiting with them, and looking after their needs in any way she could. After taking full-time care of her father the last 3 years of his life, she started doing Home Care full-time, helping many people. Unfortunately, in 1996 she suffered a rare stroke of the spine that left her confined to a wheelchair for the remainder of her life, ending her ability to care for others.
