Florence A. Fleck

Florence A. (Fiechtner) Fleck, 81, of Everett, passed away peacefully June 23, 2007. Florence was born on December 30, 1925, in Selfridge, ND. Florence left Selfridge and moved to Tacoma, WA, during high school to work as a welder at Todd Ship Yards to support the war effort. She was always very proud to have worked as a welder during the war as well as Boeing at various times in her life. After the war, she returned to Selfridge where she married her childhood sweetheart, Ray Fleck, on December 20, 1945. Ray and Florence moved to Washington in the fifties.
She is preceded in death by her parents; and two of her three brothers.
Florence is survived by her loving husband of 61 years, Ray; by her children, Clay (Deborah), Deborah McFadden (Tony Campbell) and Rebecca (Shawn Rutledge); her grandchildren, Jaime Dughi (Jonathan), Keely McFadden, Travis (Erin), Tyler, and Chantee; her great-grandson, Roarey; as well as her extended family members who were always in her heart.
Florence loved being a mother and grandmother. Her greatest joy was her family who will miss her tremendously. Florence loved to read and garden and she was a talented dancer and singer.
A mass for Florence will be held at 11 a.m., on July 21, 2007, at Saint Mary Magdalene Catholic Church, 8717 7th Ave S.E. Everett, WA. with a reception following. All family and friends, who would like to celebrate Florence's life with us, are welcome to attend.
