Mary Nina Fischer

It is with great sadness that her family announces that Mary Nina Tuminello Fischer went to be with the Lord on April 23, 2018. Strong, brave, courageous, and unyielding in her battle with cancer, she was an inspiration to all who knew her. Mary Nina, the beloved daughter of Sherry Grant Tuminello and the late Sam Tuminello, Jr., was born January 22, 1968, in New Orleans, Louisiana. She graduated from Stuttgart High School in 1986, and attended the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville. She received a degree in Organizational Management from John Brown University. She was a devout member of Holy Rosary Catholic Church in Stuttgart. She served in numerous leadership roles and ministries. She was also a member of the Chemosabes, a cancer support group. Mary Nina will be lovingly remembered by her husband Greg and their children Stephanie Prislovsky (Sam), Derek Fischer, Joseph Parker (Melissa), and Nathan Parker; mother Sherry Tuminello; brothers Grant Tuminello (Kim) and Trey Tuminello (Amy), sister Jennifer Flaker; and grandchildren Lily, Jay, Boone, Henlie, and Emerson.

Her nieces and nephew, Ty, Paige, and Lauren and grandnieces, Ava Grace and Lana Kate will miss her hugs, kisses, and loving smiles.
