Christine Marie (Dowling) Fischer of Marshfield, passed away peacefully on March 3rd 2019 at the age of 62, after a strong fight against complications from the Flu. Beloved wife of William "Billy" V. Fischer of Marshfield and daughter of Catherine "Cis" (Connor) and the late Richard Dowling. Christine was the loving mother of Kristin Fischer of Marshfield, Lauren Shiebler and her husband Charlie of Duxbury, and Ryan Fischer of Dorchester; cherished grandmother of Rosie Phillips and Henry and William Shiebler; and dear sister of Richard Dowling, Jr. of Duxbury, Eileen Perry and her husband Chris of Marshfield, and Sean Dowling and his wife Lori of Plymouth. She also leaves many beloved nieces, nephews, and friends.

Christine and husband William "Billy" both originally from Roslindale, moved to Marshfield and raised 3 beautiful children Kristin, Lauren, and Ryan. She's recognized as a daughter, a mother, a nana and sister, but to those who also love her she is Chris, Maja, and Mrs. Not only did she raise and care for her family, she cared for patients as a Nurse for 42 years. Her kindness and compassion transcended into her patient care, along with her quick wittedness and say-it-like-it-is outlook. Most recognized as an OB-GYN RN, Christine safely brought hundreds of babies into this world, including several of her nieces and nephews, while caring for their mothers simultaneously. Reassuring them the entire way through, not only with her clinical expertise, but with her natural comforting presence. Christine was a leader in the nursing community, and passed along her knowledge through teaching to student nurses. Just recently retired, Christine spent her time caring for her grandchildren. She was also an avid knitter at Yarn's End in Norwell, enjoyed exploring new cooking recipes, and most of all, vacationing with her husband and family. She will be greatly missed.
