Glenn Elliott Fidler

He is survived by his wife of 51 years, Marcia Light Fidler; his brother Clark Fidler and his wife Barbara, and their daughter Laurie Ann Fidler; his children Jane Fidler Goetz (Spencer) and Mark Southward Fidler (Brooke); and his beloved grandchildren Spencer and Ellen Goetz, and Michael and Jacob Fidler. He is also survived by a many loving in-laws, nieces, nephews, great-nieces, and great-nephews.

Glenn spent his formative years in Beaufort, South Carolina. After graduating in 1957 from Episcopal High School in Alexandria, Virginia, he attended Washington and Lee University in Lexington, Virginia, where he was a proud member of Sigma Nu fraternity. He graduated in 1961.

Following his service in the U.S. Army, Glenn moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where he began his professional career with The Coca-Cola Company. During his time in Atlanta, he served as vice president of the Young Republicans and as a member of the Executive Committee of the Republican Party.

In 1967, Glenn moved to Indianapolis, where he worked in real estate before joining Hogan Mayflower in sales, a position he held until his retirement in 2004.

One of Glenn’s greatest passions was playing bridge with his wife, Marcia. The two traveled extensively to tournaments around the country, and Glenn achieved the rank of Sapphire Life Master. He also served on the Board of Directors of the Central Indiana Bridge Association and helped organize many bridge tournaments over the years. Glenn enjoyed attending his children’s and grandchildren’s sporting events and concerts. He also loved family dinners, which were never quiet affairs; they usually ended with card-playing mayhem that grew increasingly competitive as the evening and the cocktails wore on.

Glenn and Marcia loved being on the water, whether on cruises, at the lake, or relaxing by the pool with friends and family. They shared a lifelong love of Broadway musicals and subjected their children to countless hours of Jesus Christ Superstar and The Phantom of the Opera during family road trips.

Glenn will be remembered for his raucous laughter, gentle Southern drawl, and grand sense of humor. No one had more fun than Glenn—wherever he went, the volume (and the fun) went up a notch.

The family extends heartfelt thanks to the compassionate care team at Clearvista Lake Health Campus for their exceptional care during Glenn’s final months.
