Lisa Therese Fister

Lisa Therese Fister, originally of Manchester, passed peacefully on the evening of Friday, March 1, 2019, in the comfort of her home surrounded by her loving family.

Lisa was born in St. Louis on May 4, 1963 to Marsha Therese Simpson (Cleary) and Robert Lee Simpson. She Graduated from Cor Jesu High School and continued on to create and run a successful medical transcription business for the next 30 years. Lisa was also well known for her talents in the equestrian world. Her fierce love and understanding of horse and man lives on in every student and friend she taught.

Those left to cherish her memory are her lifelong husband, Andrew Raymond Fister, also of Manchester; three adoring children, Leigh Meredith (Fister) Hanneken, Stephen Andrew Fister, Therese (Tera) Lynne Fister, and her four grandchildren Lucas, Josephine, Lucy, and Simon; Parents Robert Lee Simpson, Marsha Therese (Cleary) Simpson; and brothers Robert Lee Simpson, Matthew Gerard Simpson, and Gregory Scott Simpson.

Per Lisa’s wishes, memorial and interment will be private. The family will have a celebration of life later this spring. In Lieu of flowers, contributions may be made to Missouri Right To Life.

    Dear Drew, Leigh, Tera and Stephen, Marsha and Bob,

    Sending our deepest condolences on Lisa’s passing… just such an incredible loss. What a lovely video tribute you shared. The times we shared at our stable were wonderful and I always appreciated Lisa’s knowledge of horses and riding. Her presence and friendships in the STL equine community will be missed. Keeping you all in our thoughts and prayers during this difficult time.

    Mr. Simpson, I am sorry to hear of your families loss. I met Lisa, Tera, Marsha, and yourself at SpringBank stables. My son Michael had a horse there and we always enjoyed your families company. Your family will be in my thoughts and prayers. Brian Barnes

    I am sorry for your loss. While I was not necessarily close to everyone in the class of 81, ever loss is felt immensely. I will add Lisa and her family to my prayers.

    Andy,
    I am so sorry to hear of Lisa’s passing. I just saw this in the CorJesu newsletter that came today.

    Lisa and I had many wonderful memories of carpooling to CorJesu. She was a wonderful woman.

    Many prayers to you and your family.
