We are sad to announce that on September 16, 2025 we had to say goodbye to Mary J. Petersen (Madison, Wisconsin). You can send your sympathy in the guestbook provided and share it with the family.
She was loved and cherished by many people including: her parents, Doris Fisher and Paul Fisher; her husband Dan; her sons, Mark (Charlotte Hendrickson) and Doug (Michelle Vanston); her grandchildren, Sage, Lars, Max and Emma; and her siblings, Paula Quinnert, Susan Fisher and David Fisher.
A celebration of life will be held on Saturday, October 11th 2025 from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM at the Cress Funeral Home (3610 Speedway Rd, Madison, WI 53705).
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that you make a donation to Bernie's Book Bank (https://www.berniesbookbank.org) because in the end, that's what Mary was all about—sharing the magic of a good story. And what a beautiful story her life was.
