Jane Eileen Kelley, 79, of Sparta, WI, passed away peacefully at her own home in Sparta, WI, on August 20, 2025. Born on October 10, 1945, in Oakdale, WI, to Lloyd and Mabel (Bloom) Fisher.
She spent many fulfilling years at Chart Industries in the Shipping and Receiving Department, where her attention to detail and organizational skills were greatly valued.
Jane's love for her family was her passion in life. She cherished every moment spent with her children and grandchildren. A few of her favorite things were reading, playing on the computer and watching the news. She followed political events closely, engaging in lively discussions and debates with friends and family.
Jane's spirit and generosity left an indelible mark on her family. Her spunky spirit lit up every room, pushing those around her to live louder, laugh harder, and embrace life with gusto.
Jane is survived by her children, David (Terry) Kinserdahl, and Edward (April) Kelley; stepdaughter, Nichole Kelley; siblings, Lloyd Fisher, Lyle (Gale) Fisher, Raymond (Kate) Fisher, Duane (Barb) Fisher, Dennis (Carol Leis) Fisher, Lois (Roger) Stedman, Ruth Brueggeman, and Norma Oswald; along with many grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Jane was preceded in death by her parents, Lloyd and Mabel Fisher; two sons, Joseph and Mark Kinserdahl; one grandson; a great grandson; siblings, Joan Humphrey, William, Ronald and Robert Fisher; sister-in-law, Hazel Fisher; brother-in-law, John Oswald Sr.
Per Jane's request there will be no formal funeral service. So, we're honoring her request with love-and a smile at her trademark sass.
The Torkelson Funeral Home of Sparta, WI, is assisting the family with arrangements. Online condolences may be offered at www.torkelsonfuneralhome.com.
