Obituary of Alexandra Fischer

Our beautiful Alex - how lucky are we to know and love you. The world is a darker place without you. Will forever carry your light and the memories we made in the Pine room at NYJL, during your wedding in Vermont, and countless nights in your apartment with bartender Eric. I will never even be able to look at bread the same way. Truly a one in a billion friend. I love you sooooo so much <3.

Alex, You were such a light in so many lives. You made sure to include everyone in everything, and always ensured others were happy. From snowboarding my first time at Sugarbush with you, to cross country skiing the first time with you, to riding my first PMC with you, to planning social events together, you were always thinking about others. Your selflessness, kindness, and beauty inside & out will forever be treasured.

Jean, Jeff and Meredith, We are so sorry to hear of the passing of Alex. Our heartfelt sympathy for you and your family.

Alex was a fellow Hamiltonian and LEKer. She bought me a coffee and pastry on my first day of work, was always filled with so much energy and joy. Such a sweet soul. Rest in peace.

It has been a privilege to know you, Alex, over the past six months. In this short time, you have made a lasting impression with your warmth and dedication. Your positive energy was evident in every interaction, even though we are thousands of miles apart. You brought so much positivity to every encounter and made colleagues feel valued and heard. Although our time working together was brief, the memories of your kindness and commitment will stay with me for life. You will be greatly missed, Alex.

Alex - The world has lost one of its brightest lights. Your optimism, thoughtfulness, and spirit will be missed by the very many lives that you touched. I will see through with our plans for a winter adventure to von Trapp Family Lodge and think of you every time I break out the "skinny skis" as you affectionately called them. Thank you for being you - we are all so lucky to have known you.

Dear Jean, Jeff and Meredith, We are saddened beyond words to hear about Alex. I fondly remember her bright, smiling face playing with Anna when they were little, and happily coming upon her art at the Congressional Art Show in Montpelier. We send love and peace to you all. You are in our hearts.

Alex - I feel so grateful to have been able to cross paths in our lives a few times: First in high school at GIV camp and cross country races, then after college in Boston biking. Your energy and smile always made those around you feel welcome and valued. You were an inspiration to many and we will all struggle without you. To Alex's family and friends- I send my heartfelt wishes of support in this sad time. Ryan

I was shocked and saddened to hear of Alex’s passing. I first met her when our company started welcoming employees back after COVID. She often sat with others near the windows on the 18th floor, and I remember how her wit, intelligence, and kindness always shone through. One moment that has stayed with me was during a meeting when Alex thought she had said something too critical, she offered the most heartfelt apology, though none was needed. That sincerity reflected who she was. I am so sorry for everyone’s loss. She will truly be missed.

Alex was light itself. She radiated kindness and grace. She is and will continue to be deeply missed. Strength, peace and love to Jean, Jeff and Meredith.

Dear Alex, You were such a bright light and force of vibrant energy, positivity, and community. Working with you on our projects made me better, and I learned so much from you. I’ll miss you, and I hope you are at peace.

Jean, Jeff and Meredith, I am so sorry to hear of the passing of Alex. Sending love, thoughts, and prayers to you and your family during this difficult time.

I rarely saw Alex without a kind, welcoming, infectious smile or laugh - you could even feel it over text! Alex was a natural leader with the best advice, empathetic advocate ready to lend an ear but also push you to think bigger, and a community builder always thinking of how to bring a bit of joy to everyone's week. I so admired her generosity, warmth, and genuine care. I'm so glad to have known you and experienced your magic, friend. You will be sorely missed. My sincerest condolences to the Stetter and Fischer families, and everyone touched by Alex's loss.

Alex was the most caring and giving person I’ve known. She used to braid my hair everyday for cross country practice and when we travelled together to Nicaragua I got sick and she stayed with me in the our room until I got better, bringing me crackers and Gatorade. We hiked and spent so much time outdoors together in the MHS outing club and on the frisbee team. If you were lucky enough to see it, Alex also had a silly goofy side to her that was so special and came out when we dressed up in ridiculous outfits or led the cross country team on insane scavenger hunts all over Montpelier. She was a leader in our world and always led with kindness, grace, and the best baked goods. She is already so missed. Sending all my love to Eric, Jean, Jeff, and Meredith.

Picture this: UES, kindergarten, Mrs Keck teacher. When it was your turn to be line leader you got to hold the teachers hand, the kids love it. When it came time for Alex to be line leader, she very politely declined and told her teacher that she had learned to walk by herself a long time ago and didn't need her hand to walk ? This beautiful, strong little 5 year old girl made us laugh so hard ? (and she did lead the line by herself perfectly!) I always try to give the children in the classrooms, fun, happy memories but that day, it was Alec who gave me my fun, happy memory! You will be missed Alex.

Alex, you are so special. You were and will forever be so deeply loved by anyone who met you. As a coworker, Alex was superhumanly cheerful (never a bad Monday), humorous and gracious - she modeled and inspired joy in others. Her impact spans distance and time - Alex connected to people profoundly and quickly. It was my privilege to witness her attention to detail and concern for others. We miss you so much, Alex. We miss you.
