Liz Fiedler is the widow of Josh Fiedler ’03. Josh passed away unexpectedly in in 2020, and he was a loyal Johnnie who was proud of giving back to Saint John’s. Liz’s children’s book titled “When Flowers Bloom” (illustrated by Dan Mondloch) is a tribute to what Josh stood for: hard work, patience, perseverance, and helping others. A portion of the book proceeds will fund the Josh Fiedler Memorial Scholarship at Saint John’s.
