Survivors include her husband, Richard J. Fisher; daughters: Holly Eberle, Toni Shultz, and step daughters Tera Chaviers and Krista Olsen; twelve grandchildren: Austin, Caelie, Andrew, Paige, Gage, Talon, Faith, Reese, Rylan, Peyton, Collin, and Owen; siblings: Gail Robbins, Dana Briscoe, Steven Kelly Briscoe, along with a number of loving nieces and nephews including Nicole Briscoe who was more like a daughter to her.
Raine loved her family and friends and could usually be found on her deck entertaining visitors. She enjoyed the outdoors- planting flowers, reading in the sun, and feeding the raccoons and other animals who frequently visited her yard. Raine was a self proclaimed night owl and did some of her best painting, song writing, and guitar playing while others slept. She will be missed by so many!!
A memorial service will be held at Miller Funeral Home, 3200 Golansky Blvd , Woodbridge, VA, Tuesday August 13, 2019 at 12:00 PM, with the family receiving family and friends immediately after the service at her home.
In honor of Raine’s vibrant personality, the family encourages guests to wear a touch of yellow as it was her favorite color.
