Alisha Anna Fessel

Alisha Anna Fessel, Cape Coral, FL:

The world became a little less colorful and a lot less sarcastic when Alisha Anna Fessel took her final bow on November 24, 2025, at the age of 50. Alisha, who earned her bachelor’s degree in human resources from Spring Arbor University, always believed HR was her calling. And honestly, it was. Who else could bring equal parts compassion, humor, and side-eye to the world of workplace forms, and policies.

She spent 2006–2013 serving the Cape Coral Police Department as an administrative assistant, where she perfected the art of getting things done and keeping everyone laughing. Efficiency, with flair. Professionalism, with personality. Paperwork, with pizzazz.

Alisha’s life was a brilliant mix of humor, heart, and a dash of chaos. The good kind, the human kind, the kind that reminded everyone around her how joyful and unpredictable life can be.

She is survived by her husband, Dan Fessel; son, Gabe Fessel; parents, Dave and Teri Nodine; brother-in-law, Rob Dodson; sister-in-law, Jennifer Nodine; and nephews, Charlie, Caleb, and Chase Dodson and Jackson, Vance, and Tripp Nodine; father-in-law & mother-in-law, Robert and Nancy Fessel, and sister-in-law, Kelly Kirkland.

Alisha was preceded in death by her sister, Summer Dodson and brother, David Nodine.

The Memorial Service took place on December 22, 2025 at Walker Funeral Home, 5155 W. Sylvania Ave. Toledo, OH 43623.

In lieu of flowers donations will be gratefully accepted by the family for Gabe’s education.
