Binnie A. Fidler, 69, a long-time resident of Pine Grove, passed away on Tuesday, October 8, 2019 in Gainesville, FL, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born on August 2, 1950, in Pottsville, to the late Norman and Catherine "Cassie" Wenrich Ditzler.

Following high school, she dedicated over 50 years to Guilford Mills, where she held a variety of positions including Quality Control Technician and Lead Auditor.

She touched the lives of many and will be greatly missed.

She is survived by her daughter, Andrea Fidler, and her son-in-law, Dihloan Wong of Gainesville, Fl; her brother, Walter "Wally" Ditzler, and sister-in-law, Jeanne "Cookie" Ditzler, of Conestoga, PA; as well as numerous nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and her beloved dog, Kosmo.
