It's hard to imagine, but that bright twinkling star faded slowly and has actually gone out. Since her stroke on 25th August, Fenella has been in hospital where she remained calm, comfortable and divine throughout. It's been an incredibly sad time, but also life affirming to see her pass with the great dignity she deserved. To quote Fenella's GP, "I have known her for 30 years and she would wish to take a graceful bow and leave the stage like the lady she is." She did just that.
Fenella Fielding OBE passed away this afternoon peacefully. She died with her eyelashes on! Miss Fielding was an incredible talent. That voice! A unique woman, much loved by family, friends and fans. She will be missed tremendously.
Please take a few minutes to look at Fenella's incredible career achievements. Sixty six astonishing years.
