Obituary of Annie Fidler

Peacefully on Friday, August 28, 2008. Annie McColl Fidler (Sullivan) of Strathroy in her 97th year. Beloved wife and lifelong pal of Arthur William Fidler (Art) whom she lost in 1994 after sixty-seven cherished years of marriage. She is survived by her loving children Arthur Jr. (Marilyn) of London and Jane Bulloch (Robert) of Huntsville, her grandchildren Michael Fidler (Chloe) of Buckingham, England, Andrew Bulloch (Elizabeth) of Huntsville, Angela Bullock-McEwen (Joel) of Hillsdale, Aimee Bulloch of Toronto, Paul O'Donnell (Anne Marie) and Mark O'Donnell (Katharine) of London, and her great-grandchildren, Andy Bulloch, Frankie Fidler, Thomas McEwen, Amy, Lauren, Emerald and Tabitha O'Donnell. She is pre-deceased by several treasured brothers and sisters; Vernon Sullivan who was reported missing at the battle of Ypres in World War 1, Harold Sullivan (Beatrice), Frieda Smiley (Archie), Mabel McCandless (Basil), Marjorie Durocher (Herman), and Dorothy Davis (Richard) and her younger brother Hugh Sullivan who passed away recently and is survived by his wife Mary. She especially valued her close lifelong connection to her dear niece Clara Thomas (McCandless) and her husband Morley and to her special nephew Jim Fidler and his wife Billie. Annie leaves behind a large crowd of friends of all ages in Strathroy where she spent almost all of her life, and wherever else she went. She was "Mawm", a grandma and a buddy to far more people than she was related to. Friendship truly mattered to Annie. Wherever she is now, you can bet that Annie will be brightening that little corner with her personality and spirit. As per Annie's wishes cremation has taken place and a memorial service will be held at Denning Bros. Funeral Home on Saturday, September 6, 2008 at 11 AM with Rev. Charles Seed officiating. A private interment will follow at Strathroy Cemetery. Donations to your charity of choice would be appreciated.
