Royce “Jane” Fishel, 86

Royce “Jane” Fishel, 86, of Kalispell, passed away Oct.18, 2021, at Prestige Assisted Living.

Jane was born to Roy and Nellie King on Jan.16, 1935, in Conway, Arkansas. She was very active in her church, The Living Church at Lakeside, where she loved the potlucks and oftentimes held weekly Bible studies at her home in Lakeside.

Jane longed for and loved summer time. She could always be found tending to her yard, either in her flower gardens or mowing her beautiful lawn wearing her big floppy hat. In her later years she took up painting and found a gift she never knew existed. Her humble nature would not allow her to acknowledge that she was gifted, but her paintings say otherwise.

She is survived by her children, Alanna J. Ober of Kalispell, Rebecca L. Taylor of Boulder, Montana, John D. Taylor of Spokane, Benda M. Taylor of San Diego, and Omar L. Taylor of Billings. She is also survived by grandchildren, Yauna Taylor, Bonnie Taylor, Rachel Taylor, Aaron Ober and Travis Ober; and great-grandchildren, Shoniqua Taylor, Tiana Taylor, Isaac Scherzer, Dylan Scherzer, Quinn Ober and Beau Ober.

A celebration of life service will be held at 1:30 p.m on Oct. 24 at The Living Church at Lakeside.
