She was preceded in death by her husband Joe Fleming, son Joe Fleming Jr., daughter Mary Vannice, brothers Francis and Michael, sister Betty Tiehen Keyes, in-laws Bernard Fleming, John Fleming, Helen Fagan, Mary Carter and Irene Rolfe.
She is survived by her children Kathleen Barry (John), Mike Fleming (Connie), Maureen Ingham (Steve), Sharon Kennedy (Tim), Martha Fleming and Marty Fleming (Mary), daughter-in-law Mary Beth Fleming, son-in-law Bill Vannice, brother-in-law Bill Fleming, 27 grandchildren and 36 great grandchildren.
Dolores loved the Lord, her family, her friends, a good sale, a glass of wine, to dance and to laugh. Her goal was to raise nice children and she was unyielding in that endeavor. Her sharp wit and bright smile would often light up the room. We will sorely miss her. Praise the Lord!
In lieu of flowers, the family suggest contributions to Kansas City Hospice House.
