Gene Fisher Kosich
Gene F. Kosich passed away in her sleep Friday evening, March 14th at the United Methodist Community in Collingswood NJ surrounded by her children. She was the dear wife of the late Richard J. Kosich of Cherry Hill, NJ and beloved mother of son Richard F. Kosich of Conshohocken, PA and daughter Mary E. Kosich of Collingswood, NJ.
She was born in October of 1931, the daughter of the late Howard and Ruth Fisher of Haddonfield, NJ. She was a graduate of Haddonfield Memorial High School, Kings College, and also attended the University of the Arts in Philadelphia as an undergraduate. Upon graduation, she worked as the Art Supervisor of the Maple Shade Elementary and Middle School in Maple Shade, NJ. She was a gifted artist, loved watercolors, and had several shows of her paintings in South Jersey where she won numerous accolades and prizes for her work, some of which she donated to charitable causes. A devout Christian, she was an active supporter of her local Methodist Church in Haddonfield, NJ., where she regularly attended mass for many years. Gene was also a veracious reader, loved cooking and entertaining, and enjoyed skiing, playing tennis and socializing. Her greatest joy was her family, who she loved spending time with whenever possible. Her love of cats is also legendary.
We know Gene is in a better place now and at home and in peace with the Christ our savior, and everyone else she’s ever loved upon this Earth.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend her visitation on Saturday, March 22, 10:00AM to 11:00 AM at the Haddonfield United Methodist Church, 29 Warwick Rd, Haddonfield, NJ 08033. A memorial service will follow at 11:00 AM. Interment private.
