Arthur A. "Artie" Fecera, 84, of Spring Township, passed away on Wednesday, May 21, 2025 at home surrounded by his loving family. He was the husband of Constance (Arnidis) Fecera. Born in Reading, PA, he was the son of the late Arthur J. and Ines (Franchi) Fecera. Artie graduated from Central Catholic High School in 1959. After his father's passing, Artie took over and ran Fecera's Furniture for many years until his retirement in 2014. He was a member of Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church.
In addition to his wife, Artie is survived by his children Chris J. Fecera, husband of Annette, of Spring Township, and Catherine F., wife of Michael Zervanos of Lower Heidelberg Township, his grandchildren Ella, Ava, and Keegan, and his brothers Frank and Joseph Fecera. He is also survived from a previous marriage by his children A.J. Fecera, Lisa Yerger, and Roxanne Stone, and the late Jacqueline Hill and their families.
Artie ran Fecera's Furniture for 78 years alongside his wife, Connie, and son, Chris. He also served as President of the Style Trend Furniture Group for many years and was named Retailer of the Year in 2012. One of his greatest passions was aviation; he flew his private plane for over 40 years and was an active member of the Aero Club at the Reading Airport. Artie loved traveling to Hilton Head with Connie, Catherine and Chris, and frequently flew to North Carolina for Furniture Markets with his son and other members of the Style Trend Buying Group. His passion for flying extended to golf trips to various destinations as well.
Beyond aviation, Artie enjoyed boating with his family in Ocean City, MD, and was an avid golfer at the Berkshire Country Club. A dedicated runner, he participated in numerous races organized by the Reading Hospital. Artie also devoted 14 years of service as Church Council President at Sts. Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Church, where he was named President Emeritus upon his retirement. In 2021, he was honored with the Father of the Year award.
Thank you to Sense of Peace, especially Brittney and Margaret for taking such good care of Artie the past few weeks.

My condolences to the family during this difficult time. Artie was one of the kindest soles I have ever met, his smile radiates happiness and his heart was full of love. Every time I seen him he always had a smile with a warm hug and was sure to always ask how my family was doing. He will truly be missed but never forgotten. Prayers to the family! Much Love, Andrea Wyman

I was so sad to hear of Artie´s passing - he was one of my very favorite people, the best of the best. Artie was always smiling, always made us all laugh at the Style Trend meetings. I feel so lucky to have known him and been able to work closely with him over the 20 years I was with Style Trend, I will always remember Artie with a smile, a life well lived. Sending heartfelt condolences to Connie, Chris and the entire Fecera family.
