The Bakersfield Californian
Bisig, Jan     
1939 - 2006 
 
Jan Bisig 
July 6, 1939 - January 5, 2006 

Jan Bisig went home to be with her Lord and Savior on January 5, 2006. She 
passed away with her loving sister, Robin at her side. A celebration of life 
will held on Saturday, January 14, 2006 at 11:00 a.m. at North Hills Community 
Church, 823 Day Avenue (corner of Day Avenue and Manor Drive in Oildale). 
Janice Arlene Oakes was born on July 6, 1939 to George and Thelma Oakes. She 
grew up in Barstow, California where her family operated the local Richfield 
service station and later, George's Gift and Garden Center. During her senior 
year in high school, Jan moved to Huntington Park, California where she 
graduated from Huntington Park High School. Jan moved to Bakersfield, 
California in 1958 and she attended Bakersfield College for a year. On April 
12, 1959 Jan was united in marriage to Joe Bisig. From this union, two 
children, Julie and Joe, were born. Jan loved her family unconditionally and 
worked hard to provide a loving and stable home. On October 16, 1967 Jan's 
life would forever change when she accepted Jesus Christ into her life. She 
expressed her love for God as a faithful member of North Hills Community 
Church for the past 35 years, where she also accompanied her special friend, 
Phoebe, on the organ. Jan worked for the County of Kern and State of 
California in several capacities, most notably the Employment Development 
Department and the Division of Oil and Gas. Jan felt blessed that she was able 
to retire and spend the last 15 months of her life tending her 
garden "talking" to her birds, playing music and above all, remaining a 
devoted and faithful member of North Hills Community Church. Jan had a special 
way of making those around her feel important and loved. The many lives that 
she touched with her unique gifts provide her loving family and friends with 
many cherished memories. Preceding her in passing were her parents, George and 
Thelma Oakes. Jan is survived by her children, Julie Lynn and Joe (Lupe) 
Bishig; her grandchildren, Michael Olivieri, Joseph and Raquel Minton, Katie 
and Sawyre Bisig and Kylor Melton; her brother, George (Kay) Oakes; her 
sister, Robin (Ron) Paddack and their children Ronnie Paddack and Kelly 
(David) Hutchinson and many dear friends. In lieu of flowers, consideration of 
a donation to Optimal Hospice Foundation, 4800 Stockdale Hwy. Suite 215 
Bakersfield, CA 93309 would be appreciated. For additional service 
information, please contact Basham Funeral Care at 873-8200.
