Martha A. Fischer, banker, porcelain artist, club leader
Martha Allmoslechner Fischer could take the reins of any project and bring it home. And she usually did it with wit and zest.
Mrs. Fischer, 95, died at 5:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Marjorie P. Lee Retirement Community in Cincinnati.
Born just after the turn of the century, she was a successful businesswoman and the first female teller in the Cleveland District of the Federal Reserve Bank. She was secretary in the Cincinnati branch of the Federal Reserve for 43 years.
She was a porcelain artist and a bridge player. She loved opera and ocean fishing, and her travels included a passage through the Panama Canal.
She was a longtime member and past president of the 620 Women's Club of the Baker Hunt Foundation. The club was founded in 1932 as a social outlet for young professional women during the Great Depression. In 1973, she was named outstanding woman of the year by the club.
She also was a past matron of the Bristow Chapter No. 31 of the Order of the Eastern Star.
"She could take over anything and you didn't have to worry," said Martha Kaelin, who worked with Mrs. Fischer at the bank and had known her for more than 50 years.
"She had a wonderful sense of humor. She liked to be involved and doing things."
After her graduation from Newport High School, she worked with the Veterans' Bureau for a year and then for Becker's meats. She studied accounting at the University of Kentucky Northern Center and started her banking career.
She met her husband through the bank. Charles Edward Fischer was a bank examiner who came through town once. Mrs. Fischer, as an employee of the Federal Reserve, helped him meet a deadline.
Years later, widowed and retired, Charles Fischer came back to Cincinnati for a visit and got reacquainted with her. They married when he was 84 and she was 70. It was her first marriage.
"After I met him, nobody else ever looked good to me," Mrs. Fischer said in an interview with The Post in 1990.
They traveled to Russia and through the Panama Canal.
"She was very witty, and he was witty, too," said a friend, Doris Perry. "They were very happy."
They lived in Park Hills and later Fort Mitchell before moving to an apartment at the Marjorie P. Lee retirement community.
"She got involved as soon as they moved there," Mrs. Kaelin said. "She was in charge of welcoming people. She'd show them around."
Her husband died in 1991.
Survivors include a stepdaughter, Kathryn Farr of Newtown, Pa.; two stepgrandchildren; and four step-great-grandchildren.
Services are 11 a.m. Monday at Allison and Rose Funeral Home, Covington. Visitation will begin there at 10 a.m. Monday. Burial will be in Forest Lawn Cemetery, Erlanger.
Memorials are suggested to Christ Church Cathedral, 318 E. Fourth St., Cincinnati, Ohio 45208; or Marjorie P. Lee Retirement Community, 3550 Shaw Ave., Cincinnati, Ohio 45208.
