Sally Joanne Fisk

Age 90 of Diamond, Illinois and formerly of North Webster, Indiana and Joliet, Illinois, passed away peacefully at her home on Saturday morning, December 16, 2023.

Born June 25, 1933 in Joliet, Sally Joanne was a daughter of Victor and Evelyn (Peterson) Sheeler. Her formative years were spent in Joliet, where she completed her education at Joliet Township High School. It was during these transformative years that she found love with George Herbert Fisk, her childhood sweetheart whom she went on to marry June 24, 1951, the day before her 18^th birthday.

Guided by an unwavering dedication to her family, Sally was a devoted wife and mother. With George by her side, they welcomed the joys and challenges of life together. She took great joy in raising her five children and created a loving home in which they all thrived.

Upon George’s retirement, they moved to Indiana, where they lived out their golden years on Irish Lake. There, Sally enjoyed pontoon boat rides, weekly dinners with the “Wild Bunch,” visits to the hair salon, and relaxing on the porch, which afforded peaceful views of the lake.

After her soul mate passed away in 2014, Sally relocated to Diamond, where she lived with Stephen and Sheri. She was a diehard Chicago Bears fan; cherished football Sundays; and when the Bears weren't winning, always had her Patrick Mohomes to look forward to watching. Sally looked forward to visits from her extended family and was always excited to go out for dinner. Lounging in her recliner while speed-reading through a romance novel, always with manicured nails, was a favorite pastime.

Sally will be missed greatly by her loving family, yet they do not grieve without hope. Sally knew Jesus as her Lord and Savior, and the family takes comfort knowing she was welcomed into the arms of Jesus and is reunited with George, Stephen, and all the faithful who have gone before.

Survivors include her children, Sharon Peck of Crest Hill, Illinois, Michael (Karen) Fisk of Joliet, Illinois, Timothy (Mary) Fisk of Channahon, Illinois, and Polly (Duke) Yaguchi of Canton, Georgia; her daughter-in-law, Sheri Fisk of Diamond; grandchildren: Mandy Peck (Billy Wilson), Matt (Rebecca) Peck, Meagan (Andy) Patterson, Josh Fisk, Eric (Jenny) Fisk, Todd Fisk, Ryan Fisk, Hayley (Jay) Fisk-Triggs, Victor (Sneha) Yaguchi, Grace Yaguchi and Rose (Conn Dickson) Yaguchi; great grandchildren: Tyler Fisk, Ashlyn Fisk, Alyson Fisk; Morgan Walsh; Sammy Peck, Teddy Peck; Waylon Patterson and Harley Patterson; Shadow Razavian and River Razavian; Niyam Yaguchi and Arya Yaguchi; and Kian Dickson and Shay Dickson; brother-in-law, Don Robertson; sister-in-law, Diane Fisk; her special friends, Wendy Huston and Kelly Olson; as well as dear canine companion, Trina.
