Anthony Fiedler

Anthony (Tony) C. Fiedler, age 101, passed away peacefully surrounded by his family on November 26, 2021 in Lees Summit, MO. Born on November 21,1920 in Austria, Tony moved to the U.S. with his parents when he was nine years old, settling in Brooklyn, NY. He frequently talked about his childhood in Austria and his time at St. Barbaras School in New York. He was a member of the U.S. Army I Company 311 Infantry from 1943-1946. During WWII, he served as an auto mechanic and military policeman, and was a Purple Heart recipient. After the war, he returned to New York and married Mary Talla in 1948. They moved to Allentown, PA where Tony worked at Western Electric. A job transfer to the Lees Summit location took them to Kansas City, where they settled to raise their three children as members of St. Catherines Parish. Tony was an avid crappie fisherman and hunter, as well as an expert woodworker making various pieces of decorative items and furniture for his family. Tony is survived by his loving wife Mary of 73 years, whom he affectionately called Mitzel, and their children Carolyn MacDonald, Anthony (Michelle) Fiedler, and Joseph (Rita) Fiedler. He was a loving Grandpop to his five grandchildren, Jennifer DeForrest, Christopher Fiedler, Alicia (Joseph) Hyde, Tessa Downey, and Sara (Christopher) Price. He loved to sing his favorite German folk song to everyone and say, "Kinder sein kinder" of his nine great-grandchildren, Emma, Phoenix, Molly, Anthony, Walter, Cecilia, Aurora, Wilson, and Sullivan.
