Kalas Funeral Home & Crematory

Mary Elizabeth “Betty” Fischer (nee Aultman), of Edgewater, Maryland, passed away at Anne Arundel Medical Center with family by her side.
 
The oldest of five children, Betty was born on March 4, 1931 in Byron, Georgia, to the late Helen and Gresham Aultman. She attended Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky, and returned to Georgia settling in Fort Valley. She met her beloved Jim in 1967 and subsequently moved to Maryland in the early 1970’s.
 
Betty was very active and enjoyed gardening, sewing, and playing the piano, but she will be most remembered as an accomplished and talented artist. Although she did not start painting until the age of 43, she picked it up very quickly and established a successful art career. Her paintings have been seen hanging in the University of Maryland, the Cannon Office Building, several restaurants, other professional offices, and the homes of many friends and long-time customers.
 
Betty was preceded in death by her loving husband Jim and is survived by children Kelly Fischer, Mary Lynn Lane, Mark Fischer, and Nan Larsen; grandchildren Ashley Dibler, Brad Fisher, Laura Larsen, Sally Blankenship, Tyler Larsen, and Ryan Lane, six great-grandchildren, and many relatives and friends.
