Regina M Fidler, 96, passed away at Cornerstone Hospice, The Villages, Florida.

Regina was born June 15, 1924 in Jane Lew, WV to William and Myrtle Fisher. Regina moved to Baltimore, Md in 1945 with her husband, Lyle “Jim” Fidler. They raised one daughter, Sheila Jarvis Taylor. Regina started Beautician School in 1950 while living in Baltimore, Md. with the support of her husband. In 1960 they relocated to Casselberry, Fl. They moved into the home that Jim built in Casselberry in 1963. Regina and Jim purchased a building in Maitland, Fl., remodeled it and opened her own Hair Salon. When she retired in 1986, together they purchased a home in New Smyrna Beach Fl. Jim did some renovations to the home and they moved in in 1988. She loved gardening, the beach and shopping at thrift stores.

After her husband passed in 1998 she moved to The Villages in 2010 to be closer to her daughter, Sheila. She continued her gardening and had a lush flower garden in her back yard. In 2014 she moved into American House Independent Living in Wildwood, Fl. After a short time she met a dear man and they would spend the rest of her life together very happy and sharing their love and companionship.
