The family, from Wagga Wagga in New South Wales, were expecting another baby when Ms Fisher died.

Loved ones and colleagues have raised more than $43,000 to help grieving the family.

Goodstart Early Learning Estrella, where Ms Fisher worked, put out a heartwarming message after the mum died.

“Megan was someone who was warm and kind and easily made beautiful reciprocal relationships with the children in her care,” the preschool said.

“She was a wonderful, inspiring and generous educator, coworker and friend. She will be greatly missed by all that knew her.”

Mr Owen’s mother, Dianne, said she referred to Ms Fisher as her “third daughter”.

“I am going to miss her so much. My love for her knew no bounds and will continue to do so,” she said.

Ms Fisher’s funeral will take place in Wagga Wagga on Thursday.
