Ann Maria Fiddler

With heavy hearts, we share the passing of Ann Maria Fiddler, age 70, who peacefully went home to be with the Lord on Aug. 4, 2025, in Dacula, Georgia. Born on Nov. 29, 1954, in Chicago, Illinois, Ann filled every life she touched with love, warmth and kindness. She will be remembered as a devoted wife, loving mother, cherished grandmother and a faithful friend.

Ann married her soulmate, Michael Fiddler, on April 6, 1974, and together they shared a lifetime of faith, laughter, music and unwavering love. Family was always at the center of Ann's world. She cherished her daughter Kristen Mosley, her son Kevin Fiddler and his fiancée Carrie Giverson, and her beloved grandchildren Trae Dickerson, Grace Dickerson, Hailey Mosley and Kierstin Mosley. She also treasured her siblings, Cindy (Bruce) Teutsch, Nick Vitone Jr., and Nora Vitone.

Ann had a heart that shone in everything she did. She delighted in crafts, cooking and creating a warm, welcoming home filled with so much love and an abundance of laughter. Her soul was lifted by many different things, such as watching her children and grandchildren perform in both music and sports, the music of Barry Manilow, daytime soap operas, the comedy of The Marx Brothers, collecting Precious Moments figurines, the Chicago Cubs and a love of sweet tea. Mama's Sunday gravy was second-to-none.

A woman of deep faith, Ann devoted her entire life to serving others. For more than 50 years, she provided support in a million ways for her husband in their ministry, steadfastly working behind the scenes wherever it was needed. Ann worked with young people across the country as both a youth leader and in children's ministry. As a high school and middle school youth leader in Las Vegas, Texas, New Mexico and Illinois, she worked as the Children's Ministry Director at Murdale Baptist Church, led Sunday school and supported many programs and events focused on ministering to the young. She did this, all while also caring for students as a school secretary and health aide with the Clark County School District at Bonanza High School, Greenspun Middle School and Helen J. Stewart, a school for students with special needs, as well as helping those in need in the medical industry as a nurse, a respiratory therapist and a dialysis tech. Ann's selfless love and compassion left a lasting mark on countless lives.

In 2018, Ann and Michael moved to Atlanta, where she continued to be a loving, self-sacrificing and supportive pastor's wife, touching hearts with her grace, faith and generosity. She lived by the words, "Well done, good and faithful servant," and her life was a true reflection of them.

Ann was preceded in death by her father Nick Vitone, Sr., mother Jane Vitone, and son-in-law Jason Mosley.

A memorial service to honor the life of Ann will be held on Saturday, August 16, 2025, at 3:00 pm in the Peachtree Corners Chapel of Crowell Brothers Funeral Homes & Crematory. Dr. Michael McCullar will officiate the service.

Family and friends are invited to gather in love and remembrance to celebrate Ann's life, the joy she brought to all who knew her, and the lasting impact she made. A visitation will begin at 1:00 pm, providing a time for everyone to connect before the service.

Though we mourn her loss, we celebrate the joy, faith and unconditional love she shared with all who knew her. Her spirit will live on in the hearts of her family, friends and everyone fortunate enough to know her.
