Rose Marie "Rosie" Fleshman

Rosie and I were in the same water aerobics class at the Spears YMCA. I miss her enthusiasm and smile.

So sorry to hear of the loss of your mom. She was so energetic and cared deeply for her family. She was a kind spirit. May she live on through you all.

We miss you, Rosie! Our water fitness class is not the same without you!

I'm another one of Rosie's quilting friends. Seeing her at meetings or on Zoom with Sigrid would brighten the room...or screen. The quilt show in the fall won't be the same without her at the door welcoming guests and selling raffle tickets.

I´m a close friend of Leigh Ann´s but only met her mother once. That was all that was needed to show her bright light she radiated out! Leigh Ann spoke warmly about her mom and I know the love and admiration for her mother will remain.

I´ve been the lucky recipient hand-sewn items from Aunt Rose. From dresses when I was little to personalized pullovers, she´s kept me in style! Every time I put on one of the sweatshirts she made me, I´ll think of her voice telling me, "you look WONDERFUL!" I will miss her kindness, excitement, and warmth.

Our sincere condolences to Rosie's family. We met her through volunteering at St Pius X church. What a wonderful lady, great sense of humor and just full of life. We also had the Ohio connection as well. Rest well wonderful lady.

Deepest condolences to Rosie´s family and to all that grieve over her passing. Rosie was a special neighbor here at The Grande at Lake Jeanette. She was a one of a kind sweet, caring and smart woman. We enjoyed every encounter we had with her over many years. She will be missed. Dan & Susan Acker

God bless you and your family in this time of sorrow. With deepest sympathies to the entire Fleshman family.

This photo was taken at my Wedding in Nashville, TN in 1995. Now BOTH of my "Second Parents" are in Heaven. Mom, I will miss you very much but I know you are at Peace in the arms of our Lord. Until we meet again, may you & CFP be like Guardian Angels for the rest of us here on Earth.

I had the pleasure of meeting Rosie through Gate City Quilt Guild. We would often ride to various quilt shows together to sell raffle tickets. During these travels she would share such great stories of her days in radio (what a great voice she had), cat antics and support she provided, and her sports addiction (she loved her teams and wasn’t afraid to let out a cheer). Most importantly she loved the time spent with her family and friends. I feel fortunate to have met and spent time with Rosie, she will be missed.

Thank you for inviting me into Roses room and sending her love-
Now rest - you were the most wonderful daughters

So sorry for your loss Leigh Ann and family. Rosie sounds like a very special lady who left a lasting legacy. Love and strength to you

While I didn´t have the pleasure of seeing Rosie often, whenever I did she was full of life, enthusiasm and smiles. She had a big heart and really seemed to live into her name. She will be missed.

I met Rosie through the Gate City Quilt Guild. We then realized that we both went to the same gym! She was always smiling, always happy to see you. In talking with her I learned that she was from Cleveland. That is where I met and married my husband, although neither of us was from Cleveland, but we were in school/training there. Then, my son moved to Cleveland for some of his training. It gave us an immediate connection. Rosie gave many hours to our quilt guild, and I read in her obituary that she gave to other worthy organizations. Her death is a loss of a friend to many. For her family and friends, may her memory always be a blessing.

I first met Rosie at the quilt show when she first sold raffle tickets. Who could refuse her smile and bright eyes? When my husband was sick, Rosie visited, many times with a generous meal. She reintroduced me to pickled beets. I am fortunate to have known Rosie. She touched so many with her kindness and laughter

She raised a wonderful daughter heidi , which also is so generous and helping others !

Gary and I are sending you our heartfelt condolences. Rosie was a wonderful woman. I loved hearing your stories about her. Just the other week Heidi & I were talking about her and Heidi said, "Half the time I don't know where she is because she's so busy." I'm sending all of you light and love.
