Carla Jean (Fisher) Hite, age 60, of St. Ignace, Michigan, died at her home on July 26, 2025, after a short battle with cancer. She was born on May 15, 1965, on Mackinac Island to Rhoda Fisher. Carla was born on the island and lived there up until she was in the 6th grade when her family moved downstate. She met Thomas Bailey, and they were married on July 12, 2025, at their home. Carla loved doing crafts, flower gardening, and searching for beach glass, which she often used to create beautiful handmade pieces. She especially enjoyed quilting and could often be found working on a new project to share with family and friends. Carla had a generous heart and was always ready to help others in any way she could. Her quick wit and wonderful sense of humor never failed to bring smiles and laughter to those around her. Carla is survived by her husband, Tom; son, Hayden VanRavenswaay; and brothers, Donald Vanier, Jimmy Vanier, Raymond Vanier and Josh Eaton. Carla was preceded in death by her mother, Rhoda Fisher. Per Carla's wishes, cremation has taken place and no services are being held at this time. Family Life Funeral Homes – St. Ignace assisted the family with arrangements. Condolences may be left to the family at www.familylifefh.com.
