Ann was one of my dearest classmates always beautiful and caring! We shared many activities during our high school years! Ann excelled in all that she did with pride and success! We spoke many times about her teaching career and her love for teaching. C.R., her children, and her teaching made her life complete and happy! The past few years I've gotten to know her precious daughter Georgia. Allen and Jackie were friends and schoolmates, also. Prayers and condolences to all the family during this time of loss!

Sending condolences to the family and friends of Mrs. Ann Fleming. I have always had fond memories of having Mrs. Fleming as my 2nd grade teacher at Hatton Elementary (1982-83). She fostered a love of learning that has sustained me throughout all my years of education, training, and career. She left an indelible mark at such a young age, one that will never be forgotten. Thank you, Mrs. Fleming! <3 Your former student, Melissa Stanton
