Alice Mikulich was born October 7, 1928 at home, in Traunik, Michigan to Louis Mikulich and Frances (Bartol) Mikulich and grew up in a small town in her beloved Upper Peninsula, which she left to attend Marygrove College and then the University of Michigan.
Alice Mikulich married Dr. J. David Ausum, and together, they had five children.
After that marriage ended, Alice Ausum, on January 15, 1983, married Robert George Fisher who preceded her in death on July 12, 2008.
Alice adored singing and was a past member of the U of M Choral Union, had numerous leads in Community Theater, especially enjoying Gilbert and Sullivan productions, and was her church soloist for three decades. She was extremely patriotic and was proud to sing the National Anthem at Olympia, prior to Detroit Red Wing games.
In addition, Alice Fisher was a fine athlete, an A level tennis player who competed in the Michigan and National Senior Olympics. She loved to play golf and had a hole in one, and began water-color painting in retirement.
In spite of losing all of these skills to Parkinson's disease, she remained upbeat, positive and an inspiration to everyone she met. She leaves behind many wonderful friends.
