Jeanne E. Dodge
Jan. 16, 1930 – Dec. 26, 2021
RACINE - Jeanne Elizabeth Dodge, age 92, passed away peacefully Sunday, December 26, 2021, at her residence. She was born on January 16, 1930, in Kenosha, WI to the late Eugene and Harriet (nee Howard) Dodge. Following the untimely deaths of her parents, Jeanne was raised by her grandfather Henry Dodge.
She attended local schools, graduating from Mary D. Bradford High School, "Class of 1947". Jeanne was employed by St. Luke's Hospital and Racine Medical Clinic for over 40 years as a Medical Reporter, retiring in 1997.
In 1949, Jeanne married Roy Lee Flemming, and from this union they were blessed with five children. Jeanne and Roy later divorced. A spiritual person from an early age, Jeanne was a longtime member of the Wayman A.M.E. Church in Racine.
Jeanne enjoyed traveling, crossword puzzles, taking walks with her dogs, listening to gospel music and Billie Holliday, and playing Chinese Checkers. Above all, she treasured the time spent with her family, especially her grandchildren. She was a devoted mother, grandmother, and great-grandmother. She will be dearly missed.
Leaving to cherish her memory are her three daughters: twins Cheri Flemming of Alexander, VA and Jerri (Fraizer) Sercy of Brooklyn Park, MN and EveVonne Kuma of Racine; seven grandchildren: Gwendolyn Jean Rogers, William Joseph Rogers, Andre Lafayette Rogers, Jearold Maerke Seary, Kandice Faye Searcy, Timothy Robert Searcy, Kevon Roy Kuma; 15 great-grandchildren: Cheyanne Jeanne McDuffie, Christian Mathaudhu, Sebastian Osuri, Chanelle Rogers-Smith, Alante Rogers, Jaida Rogers, Julian Searcy, Kirby Brown, Conan Searcy, Jadyn Searcy, Timothy Michael Searcy, Jr., Vincent Lebron Searcy, King Lee Searcy, Lilliana Searcy, and Aiva Thielen-Kuma; eight great-great-grandchildren; extended Dodge and Bardwell relatives; and dear friends.
Jeanne was welcomed into Heaven by her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, her parents, former husband, two sons, Roy Lee and Leroy, and grand-daughter Tina Ann Rogers.

Dear Jerri, Cheri and EveVonne, I remember your mom as a warm and considerate person. She was always welcoming and kind to me. Her passing will surely leave a void in your lives. I know as I lost my mother a year ago. Fortunately, we have a lifetime of memories to sustain us. When you catch yourself thinking, I have to tell mom about this, pause and take comfort in the realization that she is still at your side. My very best wishes to you all and your families.

RIP my beautiful friend. Some of my fondest memories are the years working with you at Racine Medical Clinic. The "lunch bunch" got us through a lot of ups and downs and I will forever treasure your friendship.
