OUR

OUR
STORY.
Mary Catherine Fischer is the daughter of Thomas and Maureen Fischer, and at the age of 3, she died of an inoperable brain tumor.
Remembering their last vacation taken with Mary and their other eight children, the Fischers decided to provide a memorable vacation for other families facing similar situations.
On the 1-year anniversary of her death, Little Mary’s Hospitality House was dedicated in memory of their precious daughter.
