Carol Dunn Fisher

Carol Lee Dunn Fisher of Benton, KY passed away peacefully on November 27, 2022, at Lakeway Nursing and Rehabilitation in Benton, KY.

Carol was born November 30, 1944, to her late parents, S.R. and Bernice (Franklin) Dunn in Paducah, KY. She retired from Eckerd Drugs in Orlando, FL after working in their warehouse for most of her career. While at Eckerd, she fought for and succeeded in becoming their first female forklift driver. She was an amazing artist when it came to flowers, decorating, drawing, and painting. She loved decorating for all holidays, but Christmas was her favorite. Carol had the biggest heart and would do just about anything for anyone, whether she knew them or not. She would say that her biggest accomplishment in life was her three wonderful kids. Carol loved her kids and grandkids with all her heart.

She is preceded in death by her parents and her great grandson, Anthony.

She is survived by her loving husband, Philip; her children, Tim (Debbie) Hershey, Cindy Hershey, Chris (Jackie) Curts, and bonus daughter and son, Julie (Nick) Burroughs and Shannon (Angie) Fisher.
