Alisha "Baby Girl" Marie Fidler

Alisha “Baby Girl” Marie Fidler, age 31, passed away on October 28, 2026, in Tyler, Texas. She was born on March 20, 1995, in Athens, Texas, to parents Benjamin and Tonia (Adams) Fidler.

Alisha graduated from Malakoff High School and was currently attending college online, studying psychology. She had recently earned her Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) license and was working at Mabank Nursing Home, where she cared for others and did what she could to make a difference in their lives.

Alisha accomplished so much in her 31 years. Her greatest accomplishment and biggest pride was being a mother to her eight beautiful children, whom she loved more than anything. She had a big heart and was always willing to lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. Whether someone needed a little help or a lot, Alisha would always find a way to be there.

But if you knew Alisha, you knew she was never one to be quiet or hold her tongue. She loved arguing with her dad on a daily basis, stealing her mama's clothes, and giving just about everyone a hard time. She had a mouth on her, wasn't afraid to speak her mind, and could talk some serious crap with the best of them. That was Alisha. She had her own way of doing things, her own sense of humor, and a personality that you weren't likely to forget.

Alisha lived her life in her own way, loved fiercely, helped others whenever she could, and made memories that will be carried by those who knew and loved her. Though her time here was far too short, we will forever miss her laugh, her smart mouth, her stubbornness, and all the little things that made her who she was.

Alisha was loved, she will be missed, and there will never be another Baby Girl.
