Sandra Jean Fleming, 75, of Bridgeport, WV, went to be with the Lord, Friday, September 10 at her residence.
She was born in Flemington, WV, June 7, 1946, in Flemington, West Virginia, a daughter of the late Pinkney A. Collins and Dorothy McCauley Collins Bolyard..jpg)
On July 4, 1964, she married Daniel Lee “Sonny” Fleming and they celebrated 57 years of marriage this past July.
Gathering with family was her favorite activity, baking and cooking for them all. Sandy was a huge fan of the Bridgeport Indians, as well as the WVU Mountaineers. She never missed a single game that her children played.
Sandy worked for Total Health for a total of 13 years alongside Sonny and served cancer patients throughout all 55 counties and surrounding states. At other times, she served as a loyal homemaker for her three boys and Sonny.
Surviving are three children: Curtis Lee Fleming and his wife Shelly, of Bridgeport, Kevin Lee Fleming and his wife Cheryl, of Pittsburgh, and Keith Lee Fleming, of Bridgeport. She was known as “mammy” to her five grandchildren: Laken Fleming and her fiancé Dillon Meadows, Autumn Fleming and her companion Evan Staley, Ashton Fleming and Pyper Fleming.
Sandy leaves behind her sister, Sherry Bolyard Fleming, and brother, Carl Bolyard.
Sandy’s departure was preceded by her late brother, Carol McCauley, and late sisters, Penny Bolyard and Sharon Kay Collins McKinney.
Sandra was a 1964 graduate from Flemington High School. She was a loving wife, mother, grandmother and friend. She will be missed by all who loved her and await our great reunion.
