Christin Elizabeth Fiedler

Christin Elizabeth Fiedler, 59, of Richmond, Virginia, passed away after a long and courageous battle with cancer on November 1, 2026.

Born on December 21, 1966 in Alexandria, Virginia, Christy was the beloved daughter of the late Larry Fiedler and Sandra Fiedler of Leesburg, Virginia. She was a devoted sister to Cindy McDaniel, Alison Fiedler, the late Elizabeth Fiedler, and a cherished aunt to Morgan Fiedler and Charlie Leisure. Her love for her family was a constant and treasured part of her life.

Christy grew up in Leesburg, Virginia where she graduated from Loudoun County High School in 1985. She went on to attend James Madison University, earning her degree in Business Administration.

Following graduation, Christy moved to Richmond, Virginia after accepting a position in the Governor’s Office. She dedicated many years of service to the Commonwealth of Virginia before continuing her career at the College of William & Mary in Williamsburg. She retired in 2025, leaving behind a career marked by dedication and commitment.

Christy found happiness in life’s simple and beautiful pleasures. She loved the beach, lost herself in the pages of a good book, nurtured her garden, and embraced opportunities to travel and explore the world. She also had a special place in her heart for animals, and being a mother to her many beloved fur babies brought her immeasurable joy.

Christy’s compassionate spirit reached far beyond her family and friends. She generously gave her time and heart to causes close to her, volunteering with Relay for Life, local animal rescues, and other charitable efforts throughout her community. Her kindness, love for animals, and desire to make a difference touched many lives.

Christy will be remembered for her strength, her generous heart, her love of family, and the many ways she brought kindness and joy into the world. Though her courageous battle has ended, the love she shared and the memories she leaves behind will forever remain in the hearts of those who knew and loved her.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made in Christy’s memory to the Richmond Animal League, in honor of her lifelong love and compassion for animals.

A celebration of life will take place at a later date.
