She was born August 14, 1940 in Sturgis, Michigan to Ledger and Leona (Magnus) Eddy.

On February 28, 1959 she married her high school sweetheart, John Fidler.  He survives along with three children, Kelley J. Fidler of Middlebury, Stephen L. (Shelly) Fidler of Goshen and Karen (Shayne) LaCounte of Goshen; seven grandchildren, Brad Webb, Carly Decker, Alli Batt, Joel Fidler, Sara Kupke, Dylan Downing and Shelby Downing; 15 great-grandchildren and two sisters, Lavonne DiGirolamo of LaGrange and Linda (Mike) Miller of Goshen.
