Esther Jane Fisher

Esther Jane Fisher, 87, of Goodyear, Arizona passed away on June 24, 2021 with her entire family by her side. She was born on November 12, 1933 in Omak, Washington to James Asbury Biles and Elva Lucile Lortz. Esther married the love of her life, Darrell Dean Fisher in April 1956. Together they built their home in Kennewick, WA and had four children. Darrell preceded Esther in death in 1968. Esther courageously raised her four children on her own, remaining faithful to Darrell until death. Esther’s nurturing spirit provided a safe haven for other children, including nieces, nephews, grandchildren and friends.

Over the years, Esther did whatever was necessary to provide for her children and extended family, including: cleaning services, working as a cook and finally as a tape librarian for Boeing Computer Services, where she retired in 1996. In 1998 she moved to Las Vegas, NV where she enjoyed the company of many friends. Starting in 2006 she spent time living in each of her children’s homes in Oklahoma, Maryland, Washington, and Arizona and eventually made her final home in Goodyear, AZ with her daughter Soni Fisher. Esther was of a non-denominational faith and spent her entire life faithfully following the teachings of Jesus Christ.

Esther is survived by her four children, Kathleen Blair and her husband Allan, Steve Fisher and his wife Mary, Soni Fisher, and Trish Wildfang and her husband Kevin; her brother Jim Biles and his wife Marian; her grandchildren Kevin, Cheri, Christina, Rodney, Stephen, Jenni, Tricia, Larissa, Devin and spouses; and her great-grandchildren Anthony, Alejandro, Amiya, Blaine, Destiny, Chloee, Ayden, Liam, Haileigh, Cameron, Ezzy, Jaxson, and one more on the way; and many nieces, nephews and friends. She was preceded in death by her husband Darrell Dean Fisher, her grandson Travis Benjamin Wildfang, her parents James and Lucile Biles, and her siblings Lael Biles, Ray Biles and Eldora Hahn.
