Born and raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, Fisher and her husband, Sanford (Sandy) Fisher, bought their home in Richmond MA in 2009 and have been actively involved in the cultural community in the Berkshires for many years. The Fishers moved their residence to Florida for several of the past few years, but are thrilled to be back in the Berkshires and able to commit their energies to the local community. She is a graduate of the University of Manitoba and has two grown children who continue to live in Canada. Her son is a successful orthodontist in private practice in Winnipeg and her daughter is an equally successful television and freelance journalist and fitness expert in Toronto.
