Mrs. Fidler as I knew her back then as a second grader I believe around 1962. She was 1 of only a small hand full of teachers I really liked as a kid. She helped me get rid of a few awkward habits and for breaking those habits she gave me a small New Testament which I still have today. She was a fantastic teacher. I will always have fond memories of her.

To the family of Betty Fidler, It was only yesterday that Betty came to my mind after many years. I taught at Mary Benton School from 1980-2000 and often requested Betty to sub for me. She was so good with all ages and I always knew she would take care of my class. I enjoyed our conversatons and her wonderful piano selections. She was a great assest to our school programs, as well. It is not easy on anyone, when their mother passes. I know she lived her life well.
To Susie and Kerin-Your Mother was the sweetest person and very talented pianist that I’ve ever known. She volunteered and played for my choirs while I was the music teacher at Garrison Elementary for 5 years. She also wrote beautiful songs that I sometimes got to sing and record so she could submit them for publication. Betty also loved to play for me when I would perform at various functions. What a wonderful person! And she always was concerned and proud of her 2 lovely daughters. She was an important part of my life for many years. She will be missed by many. Marianne Cook
The first time I was there at the ASG she was the first to invite me back. Me and my mother will miss her dearly. Our Prayers and thoughts are with the family and friends
The members of the Wichita KS Chapter of the American Sewing Guild are sad to learn of Betty’s passing. She has been an active and valued member for many years. She will be missed.
Our thought and prayers are with you all. She was a special lady and now she is with Wild Bill in heaven. We will miss them both.
