Flavian Joyce Fischer, 73, of Kalkaska, was received into God’s loving arms June 1, 2018 at her home in Kalkaska Medical Health Center. Flavian was born January 5, 1945 in Detroit and was adopted by her parents, Ernest and Lenore (Reidel) Fischer in March1945. Flavian grew up in Saginaw and was one of God’s special children. She attended Trinity Lutheran School through the 8th grade. Flavian moved to Grand Rapids when her guardian moved. There she worked in several positions in employer assisted programs. In 2000 she moved to Kalkaska. Flavian was able to live independently with assistance and worked for Grand Traverse Industries. When her medical problems became more than she could handle, she lived in several AFC homes until her health needed more constant care. Flavian’s final home before heaven was the Green Houses North and South of Kalkaska Long Term Care. She was very happy in that environment and developed many friendships with other residents and staff. She was always busy with activities, outings, and other special events. Flavian was predeceased by her parents, Ernest and Lenore (Reidel) Fischer, and grandparents. She is survived by a brother, Ronald (Mary) Fischer of Merrill, nieces and nephews, and her guardian and friend of many years, her cousin Ardis Bauer of Fife Lake. A special thank you from the family to the Green house North and South for their excellent care, understanding, and patience.
