French Fleming

May 21, 1928-March 9, 2015

Fortified with the Sacraments of Holy Mother Church. French Adams “Joe” Fleming died March 9, 2015.

Joe was born May 21, 1928, the son of the late French Fleming and Betty Adams Fleming.

He was also preceded in death by his beloved sister, Mary Marshall; and a nephew.

Joe “Papaw” started life in Russell, Kentucky. He won a contest by delivering the most newspapers and the prize was to be a batboy at a local D league where he met Stan Musial who bought him an ice cream after the game. They remained friends until Stan’s passing. This inspired Joe to become a lifelong Cardinal fan. After graduating from Russell High School in 1945, he joined the U.S. Navy and was a member of Admiral Bird’s expedition to the South Pole. After the Navy, he worked briefly for Ashland Oil on their river barges before hiring on at Armco Steel Corporation, which he retired from in 1982. After his retirement, he liked to joke that he did not do anything and did not start that until noon. He was a lifetime member of the Ashland Elks 350.

His grandchildren were his pride and joy and he took pleasure in attending their many activities and sporting events. He was a great friend to many and will be missed by everyone who knew him.

Joe is survived by his wife of 45 years, Judi Willis Fleming; a daughter, Angel (Dave) Camden; three grandchildren, Marissa Elizabeth Camden, Sarina Rose “Rosie” Camden and Nicholas David Anthony Camden; a brother-in-law, Donald (Betty) Willis of Littleton, North Carolina; a cousin, Jack Adams of Ironton; nine nieces and nephews; 21 great-nieces and great-nephews; and six great-great-nieces and great-great-nephews.

A memorial Mass will be at 10 a.m. April 18, at St. Simon the Apostle Church, 11011 Mueller Road, St. Louis, Missouri, followed by fellowship in the lower church hall.

Visitation will be at 9 a.m. April 18, at the church.
