Dennis Flemming Obituary

Dennis G. Flemming, 80, of Wernersville, passed away on Wednesday, November 1, 2023 at Lancaster General Hospital. He was the husband of Mary Ann (Phillips) Flemming, having shared 56 wonderful years together. Born in Reading, he was the son of the late Francis G. and Mary S. (Boyer) Flemming. Like his seven siblings, Dennis was a graduate of Central Catholic High School (Class of 1965), which made his parents very proud. He was drafted into the US Army (1965) and served two years in Germany before returning to marry his high school sweetheart, Mary Ann. Dennis held many jobs over the course of his life. He worked for Penn Cigar Sales and Brenheiser Tobacco Company. He retired from Lorillard Tobacco Company after 33 years of service as a sales rep for Eastern PA. Dennis loved playing golf in Bermuda and was a member of Golden Oaks. He loved to travel to Bermuda where he met a good friend, Christian Swan. His other favorite travels included summers at the Jersey Shore as well as Disney World, all with family and friends. He enjoyed cutting the grass at his son's home, and cherished the time he spent with his grandchildren, whom he loved dearly. A devout Catholic, Dennis was raised in St. Paul's Church. He later became a member of St. Joseph's Parish and St. Francis de Sales. He served as President of Holy Name as a CYO representative, was active in parish fundraisers, coaching baseball, and various committees as well as the St. Vincent de Paul Society. He volunteered at the Conrad Weiser Food Pantry with his son in law. Left to cherish his memory are his wife, Mary Ann; daughter, Patricia A., wife of Joseph Carter of Sinking Spring; son, Patrick J., husband of Ann Flemming (Bates) of Mohnton; grandchildren, Krystina and Nikolas; and sister in law, Kathleen Phillips, whom he called his second wife. He was preceded in death by his oldest sister, Elinor (Richard) Fitzpatrick and is survived by sisters: Mary Eileen (Robert) Burkholder, Sheila (Harvey) Dauber, and Anne (James) McGlone; brothers: Gregory (Barbara) Flemming, Joseph (Carol Ann) Flemming, and John (Marianne) Flemming; as well as many nieces and nephews. A Mass will be celebrated on Friday, November 10, 2023 at 11:00 am at St. Francis de Sales Catholic Church, 321 North Church Street, Robesonia, PA, 19551. A viewing will be held Thursday, November 9, 2023 from 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at Edward J. Kuhn Funeral Home, Inc. 739 Penn Avenue, West Reading, PA 19611.

Denny,
Back in the 50's I had many a memorable days playing ball with you at 11th and Green street. After you moved we were rejoined again in High school. You were a great classmate and close friend. The one quality i liked about you was the friendly atmosphere that radiated around you. I will miss you old friend! May heaven repay you for your good deeds.
