On Friday, July 18, 1980, at Toronto General Hospital, Thelma (Golden) Fidler, 66, beloved wife of Richard Fidler, loved sister of Audrey, passed away.

Thelma was one of the greatest pitchers in the history of Canadian Women's fastball.  Best known for her play with Langley's Lakesides and Sunday Morning Class, two legendary Toronto teams of the 1930s and 1940s, Mrs. Fidler held four victories over world championship teams, although she never played for one.  She averaged about 17 strike-outs per game over a 20 year career, and pitched more no-hitters than she could recall, including two in a row in a world tournament.  One of her greatest thrills was pitching against and beating the New York Roverettes in a game at Madison Square Gardens.

Friends may call at the Trull Funeral Home.  Funeral service in chapel July 21,  at 2:30.  Cremation.  In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Canadian Cancer Society.
