Myrna Fairman Obituary

Janesville, WI - Myrna J. Fairman, age 85, of Janesville, passed away peacefully Tuesday, June 3, 2025, with her family at her side. She was born in Plainfield, WI, on March 26, 1940, the daughter of the late James and Margaret (Banks) Wilson. Myrna married Merrill L. Fairman on April 11, 1959, in Beloit and he preceded her in death on Nov. 25, 1993. She worked for many years as a secretary for Oakhill Christian School but later in life worked as a home health worker. Myrna lived her life devoted to serving her Lord. She was active at Oakhill Christian Church, its Bible Study Classes and the Wednesday Ladies Lunch Bunch. But her service to the Lord didn't end there, she volunteered for numerous places and even in recent months was still making and taking food to the homeless shelter. She also enjoyed knitting, crocheting, water aerobics, attending Gospel Bluegrass Festivals, and gardening. But the light of her life was being able to help care for her grandchildren and great grandchildren!

She is survived by her 3 children: Charlene (G. Roger) Meiklejohn, Marva (Juan) Mosley and Myron (Peggy) Fairman all of Janesville; 13 grandchildren: Tabitha (Micah) Sleeper, Matthias (Cori) Meiklejohn, Marcus (Chalyse) Meiklejohn, Stephan (Amber) Meiklejohn, Hannah (Clayton) Flood, Jael Meiklejohn, Tyler (Hope) Mosley, Blake (Emily) Mosley, Chad (Jenelle) Mosley, Trenton (Janelle) Mosley, Colton (Morgan) Mosley, Jennae Fairman, and Isaiah Fairman; 30 great grandchildren; a brother, Phillip Wilson; a niece; and 3 nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband; and her brother, Russell Wilson.

Funeral services will be held at 11:00 a.m. on Friday, June 6, 2025, at OAKHILL CHRISTIAN CHURCH with Pastor Scott Martin officiating. Burial will follow at Floral Lawns Memorial Park, South Beloit. Visitation will take place on Friday from 9:30 a.m. until the hour of services at OAKHILL CHRISTIAN CHURCH. Memorials in Myrna's name can be made to Oakhill Christian School.
