Loretta Jean Scovel Fidler, 90, born October 15,
1926, died February 4, 2017 in her home of 56 years, in Scottsdale, AZ, of natural
causes.
She was the only child of Earl Wright Scovel and Olive Belle Thomas Scovel,
granddaughter of George and Carrie Thomas all of Kalispell, MT.
She was a graduate of Flathead High School in 1944; attended
business college in Spokane, WA. Married Charles Royal Fidler; divorced in
1954. Moved to Scottsdale in 1961 and owned Executive Letter Service for many
years. Retired from R.W. Beck and Associates.
For 28 years Loretta owned a home
in Bridgerland Village, Garden City, UT, overlooking Bear Lake. Served as
Secretary/Treasurer of the HOA, volunteered and cataloged 30,000 books for the
library, gave her time to the city, and was a member of the Garden City Cutups
and Quilt Guild producing quilts for charity.
In Arizona she volunteered for
Scottsdale SW Village Neighborhood Association, First Baptist Church of
Scottsdale, Valley Big Brothers and Big Sisters, Maricopa County Hospital, and
The Phoenix Zoo. Loretta traveled Europe, Australia, Hawaii, Rocky Point, and
completed a 12 day game viewing tour of five animal refuges in Kenya,
Africa. She was an adventurer. Card
games, dice games, and fun were enjoyed well into her 80’s. She loved life and
everything about it.
She loved animals of
all kinds, was a gardener, seamstress, baker of muffins, dancer, lover of the world
around her and people of all races and creeds, but her family was most
important. She always came from a place of unconditional love. No person or
animal in need was ever turned away. She had a smile and fun, kind nature that
lit up a room.
Loretta is survived by son Randy Fidler and daughter in law
Trish Fidler of Hinton, Alberta; grandson Jason Fidler, wife Kathy Fidler, and
great grandchildren Madison Fidler and Talon Fidler of Edmonton, Alberta; Colin
Fidler, wife Jenn Fidler, and great grandson Kevin Fidler of Hinton, Alberta; daughter Marcia
Fidler Heard and grandson Tyler Heard of Scottsdale, AZ; granddaughter Courtney
Heard of Cedar Park, TX and her boyfriend Stephen Glanville of Pflugerville,
TX.
At her request there will be no services and she will be returned to her
beloved Garden City, UT at a later time. In lieu of flowers, donations may be
made in her name to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, UT, any hospital or
organization that benefits children in need, The Phoenix Zoo, or the
Alzheimer’s Association. Remember to Live Well, Laugh Often, and Love
Much. Loretta lived a phenomenal dash.
Until we meet again and forever, we love you. Thank you for being in our lives.
Gone but never forgotten.
