  1. While I am saddened to hear of Mrs. Fleming’s passing, it is joyful to think about just how many lives she changed. Such a delight to walk into her class. Heaven has gained an incredible angel.

  2. One of the great privileges in my ministry was being Eloise’s pastor for a spell. A strong lady, but very caring. My condolences to her children and grandchildren and to Park Street Christian Church.

  3. Always interested and always interesting, Mrs. Fleming was a stalwart member of the GHS female faculty which made it clear to GHS girls that science careers could be ours and fulfilling careers and family life could be accomplished in style, grace, and good humor! What a wonderful woman!

  4. Carol, Sincere condolences for the loss of your mother. She lived a long successful life.
