On Saturday, September 29, 2018, David Norman Fleming, loving husband and father of two children, passed away at the age of 76.
A proud Winter Garden native, Norman was born on November 29, 1941 to Dalton and Emma (Woodley) Fleming. He graduated from Lakeview High School in 1960 and proceeded to study mechanical drafting in Orlando. On June 28, 1963, he married Jimmie Mable Martin of Winter Garden. In 1965, Norman was drafted into the US Army and was stationed in Germany. Upon discharge, he returned home to his wife and together they raised two children, Kimberly and Kirk.
Norman retired from UPS in 1999 to spend more time with his wife, children, and soon-to-be grandchildren. Norman had several hobbies, but was locally known for his exceptional gardening and woodworking skills. He was also a proud “Scottish American”, having roots traced back to the 6th century. He enjoyed genealogy and reading about Scottish history, and shared this passion with his son. Norman never met a stranger, and was a man of strong faith, character, integrity, and passion.
Norman is proceeded in death by his father, Dalton, and his mother, Emma. He is survived by his wife Mable, his two children, Kim (Bill) and Kirk, his two grandchildren, Dalton and Sophia, his sister Barbara, and several cousins, nieces, a nephew, and an aunt.
A Celebration of Norman’s Life will be held at 1:00 p.m. on Friday, October 12 at the First Baptist Church of Montverde. Friends and family are welcome to attend.
