It is with tremendous shock and grief that the John C. Fremont Hospital Foundation shares the heartbreaking news that friend and colleague, Carole Fish, unexpectedly passed away on Wednesday, Aug. 16.
Fish joined the Foundation in August of 2022 and served as our strategic planning and fundraising chair.
“This loss, very personal and tragic, leaves a massive hole in our hearts and in our work,” the board said in a statement.
Fish was a key member of the team and a leader in envisioning the Black and White Ball.
“We have worked closely with her for nearly a year, and words do not seem enough to share how her can-do, spunky and extremely professional character touched all of us,” the statement said.
Fish was a fascinating person. She worked at the highest levels of fundraising and strategic planning in San Diego County for entities like Rady Children’s Hospital and Scripps Health, but she also was an incredibly skilled soccer player on a traveling team, an avid skier and sang in the Mariposa Community Chorus.
“In short, she was super cool,” the statement said.
Fish joined the board to make a difference in rural health. She really appreciated having a hospital in this community and was an enthusiastic worker in its support.
“Her tremendous talent and skill, which was visible in everything she did, is irreplaceable,” said the statement.
Fish enjoyed a close-knit family. The foundation board hopes her family will find comfort in one another and the fond memories she left behind.
“We miss her greatly,” the statement concluded.
