Elizabeth Margaret Asher

Elizabeth Margaret Asher entered eternal rest on Saturday, December 28, 2024, at Flowers Hospital in Dothan, Alabama. Elizabeth was born in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin on October 18, 1944, to the late Bernard “Pat” and Dorothy May.

She graduated from Sturgeon Bay High School, class of 1962, and married her high school sweetheart and the love of her life, John Robert Asher on July 30, 1966. Together, they were a perfect example of true love that lasted 53 years, until John’s passing in 2019.

Elizabeth was a cherished wife and devoted mother, grandmother, and educator. When she was not teaching science, she enjoyed spending time with her children and grandchildren, sewing, quilting, and serving others through numerous volunteer organizations. Elizabeth had an amazing sense of humor which often led to everyone laughing uncontrollably.

She is survived by her three children Marty (Tracie) Asher, Michael (Cally) Asher, and Mary Pat Peterson; nine grandchildren Haley-Marie and Orion Asher, Sladon, Shylee, and Shaylyn Asher, and Luke, Savannah, Miles, and Sarah Beth Peterson; one sister, Suzanne (Chuck) Wagner, two sisters-in-law, Sue (Frank) Carmody and Erika May, one brother-in-law, Steve (Donna) Asher; and a host of extended family and friends.

She is preceded in death by her parents, husband, and one brother, Karl May.

A Celebration of Elizabeth and John’s life will held together in Sturgeon Bay, Wisconsin at a later date. In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to RIFA, 133 Airways Blvd, Jackson, TN 38301.
