Summary

- She passed away on December 23 last year at her animal sanctuary.

The partner of actor Anthony Head, Sarah Fisher, has died at the age of 61 following a diagnosis of anaplastic thyroid cancer. This extremely rare and aggressive gland cancer has a survival rate below five percent. Fisher passed away on December 23 last year at her home, a 90-acre animal sanctuary. She had been with veteran actor Head, 71, for 37 years.
Her daughters, Emily and Daisy Head, shared the news in January, describing their mother's death as immensely shocking and coming with very little warning. Fisher was a dedicated animal rights campaigner, an ambassador for Battersea Dogs and Cats Home, and the founder of Animal Centred Education (ACE). Her family stated she did not want a funeral, encouraging tributes online instead.
Friends and colleagues remembered Fisher as a passionate advocate for animals and a caring individual. Victoria Stilwell, a dog trainer, called her an "irreplaceable light" and a fierce mother. Battersea Dogs and Cats Home also paid tribute to her significant contributions to animal welfare and her expertise in canine behavior.
