Peggy Lea Fisher, a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, passed away on Friday, March 28, 2025, at Coteau Des Prairies Hospital in Sisseton, SD. Peggy Lea Simon was born on November 3, 1954, in Ortonville, MN, to Archie and Ardeth (Randall) Simon. Peggy grew up on the family farm southeast of Sisseton, SD. She attended country school before attending school at Sisseton Public School where she graduated in 1973.

On September 9, 1976, Peggy married Robert Fisher, and they made their home near Sisseton. They were blessed with four children: Mandi, Dustin, Kelli, and Ryan. They had many children over the years that they lovingly opened their home to.

Peggy worked at CDP hospital as a cook for a brief time. She and Robert started towing around 1979 and started their family business, Fisher Salvage & Towing. Her most rewarding and passionate job was driving the NESD Head Start bus for over 30 years; during that time she carried many generations of families to school. After retiring from driving bus, she worked at Hwy 10 Casino (the business that she started with her husband and son, Ryan)

Peggy enjoyed visiting with people, especially her “kids” she drove bus for, crocheting, cooking (she was an excellent cook), taking family trips, riding along with Robert in the cop car and later in their side by side, playing cards, bingo, and spending time with family and friends.

Peggy will be missed by those who survive her: her husband Robert; her children Mandi (Daniel) Nickolauson of Sisseton, SD; Kelli (Timothy Kasper) Karst of Burtrum, MN; and Ryan (Heather Seefeldt) Fisher of Sisseton, SD; siblings Lynn Simon of Princeton, MN; Diana Simon of Prior Lake, MN; Jodi (Scott) Anderson of Langford, SD; and Chad Simon of Flandreau, SD; 9 grandchildren; 1 great grandchild and two on the way; and many nieces and nephews.

She was preceded in death by her parents; son Dustin; maternal and paternal grandparents; mother and father-in-law; son-in-law David “Tubby” Karst; 2 brothers-in-law Monte and Charles; and a niece Lucille Casiano.

Please send condolences to Robert Fisher, 11948 462nd Ave, Sisseton, SD 57262
