Marjean M. Fish

Marjean Marie (née Wheaton) Fish, 76, of Delphos, died 2:35 a.m. Wednesday, November 4, 2020, surrounded physically and virtually by her family at St. Rita’s Hospital in Lima.She was born November 27, 1943, in Addison, Michigan, to Tressa Louise (née Steveson) and Lavere Wheaton, who preceded her in death. On January 19, 1964, she married the love of her life, the Rev. Gary Fish, who survives in Delphos.

She is preceded in death by a brother, William “Bill” (Carole) Wheaton, a brother-in-law, Willis “Willie” Sax, and a great-granddaughter, Everleigh Hesseling.

Also surviving are their children, Curt (Cindy) Fish of Whitehouse, Dawn (Joe) Scharf, Robert “Bob” (Julie) Fish, William “Bill” (Brenda) Fish, all of Delphos, and Rebecca “Becky” (Mike) Anderson of Greenfield; 11 grandchildren, Chelsea (Taylor) Hesseling, Emily (Bryan) Andrews, Katie Fish, Kristi Fish, Megan Fish, Josh Fish, Jace Fish, Zach Anderson, Haley Anderson, Karissa Fish, and Kenzie Anderson; 4 great-grandchildren, Eloise Hesseling, Edith Andrews, Edmund Hesseling, and Penelope Andrews; her sisters, Mary Sax of Lodi, and Norma (Tom) Heator of Addison, Michigan; as well as many beloved nieces and nephews.

Marjean was a faithful wife, a loving mother, a proud grandma, doting great-grandma, and a servant of the Lord. During her children’s formative years, she spent countless time caring for her children and the children of others in her home. After her children grew up, she started work at McDonald’s where she gave them 15 years of her time and rose to manager. She was part of a regular Pastors and Wives meeting and was an active member of Delphos Christian Union Church. She was a grandma, a mother, or a friend to all who needed one. She spent the last year learning how to text and video call so she could be closer to her family around the country. She regularly texted family members to remind them of her love for them. 

She is, was, and will always be a pillar of faith and unending love in her family.

A visitation will be held from 4-8 p.m. on Friday, November 6, 2020, at Harter and Schier Funeral Home. Funeral services will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, November 7, 2020, with calling one hour prior at Delphos Christian Union Church. The family has requested that masks be worn during the visitation and funeral. 

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be made to the Delphos Christian Union Church.

Marjean would have liked for others to live selflessly and love others -- without stipulations -- in honor of her and her devout faith.
