Alice Fienning Obituary
Alice Fienning, nee Fidlar, 86, passed away on July 28, 2025. She was born in Terre Haute, Indiana and grew up in Indianapolis, Indiana, where she graduated from Shortridge High School in 1956. She received her BA degree in Education (teaching French, German, and English) when she graduated from Ball State University in 1960, and began teaching French and German at West High School in Rockford, Illinois.
Alice met William (Bill) Fienning when visiting friends in Albuquerque, but continued her teaching career. Eventually, they married in 1976; she retired and moved to Albuquerque. She volunteered as a docent at the Rio Grande Zoo (now part of the BioPark) for nine years, and was active in the Alliance Francaise of Albuquerque, serving as Treasurer for many years.
She loved classical music (especially Mozart and Bach), attending opera and theater performances, art museums, reading, foreign travel, good food and wine, and old friends.
She is survived by her husband, Bill Fienning, and several cousins back East.
