Michelin Fiske, Salina
Obituary for Michelin Louise (Fabrizius) Fiske | Ryan Mortuary
June 15, 1949 ~ July 15, 2022 (age 73)
Michelin “Mich” Louise (Fabrizius) Fiske, 73, of Salina, passed away Friday, July 15, 2022, in Minneapolis, Kansas. She was born June 15, 1949, in Hays, Kansas, the daughter of Herman and Leona (Sommerfield) Fabrizius.
Mich graduated from Minneapolis High School in 1967. On November 8, 1982, she was united in marriage to Kenneth “Kenny” Fiske, and the couple made their home in Salina.
She collected dear friends everywhere she went, from her workplaces to her time at the Elks, GreatLife and the Smoky Hill River Festival. Holidays spent with her mom, siblings, nieces and nephews, children, and grandkids were always a treasured time for her. In her free time, she frequented local department stores and was especially sad when Dillards closed but found a new favorite when Marshall’s came to town, never wanting to miss a bargain. Her love for KU basketball and slot machines was only surpassed by her love for her grandkids.
Mich is survived by her husband Kenny of Salina; a daughter, Amber Hanson (Scott) of Concordia, Kansas; three sons, J.B. Fiske (Mandy) of Enterprise, Kansas, Rick Fiske (Sheri) of Bennington, Kansas and Jason Fiske of Elwood, Nebraska; her mother Leona Fabrizius of Minneapolis, Kansas; three brothers, Don Fabrizius (Wendy) of Niles, Kansas, Steve Fabrizius of Minneapolis, Kansas, and Mike Fabrizius (Tami) of Minneapolis, Kansas; a sister, Kathy Nash (Marty) of Minneapolis, Kansas; grandchildren Melissa, Kate, Maddy, Chase, Cade, Cobey, Quenton, Abby, Haddie, Brynna, and Callie; and three great-grandchildren.
Mich is preceded in death by her father Herman Fabrizius; a grandson, Sidney Fiske; and a nephew, Aaron Fiske.
Visitation will be from 4-8 p.m., Tuesday, July 19, at Ryan Mortuary, Salina, with family receiving friends from 6-8. Funeral services for Mich will be at 11 a.m. Wednesday, July 20, at First United Methodist Church of Salina. A private burial will be in Gypsum Hill Cemetery, Salina.
