In Memoriam – Dr. Fidelia Butt
The world lost a hero on Monday, April 11, 2022. As a long time friend and supporter of OPD, Dr. Fidelia Butt played a pivotal role in the lives of many many individuals. As a paddler and staunch supporter of Live Love Survive – a dragon boat team composed of cancer survivors and supporters, Fidelia loved and lived life to the fullest. She unfortunately left us after a long battle with cancer.
Fidelia was a co-founder of the Asian American Cancer Support Network (AACSN). Founded in July 2003, AACSN’s mission ” … seeks to become a community resource network for Asian Americans affected by cancer in the Bay Area through social programs and creative fundraising. AACSN programs are made available to everyone, not just the Asian Community. We welcome everyone to use our services and resources.”
Fidelia’s family: “Her passing has taken a heavy emotional toll on her family. But we are also happy that Fidelia is no longer suffering and is in heaven with our Lord.”
AACSN: “We want to show her how much we admire and respect her lifetime dedication towards caring for her patients and her community.”
