Andria "Sissy" Jo-Jean Fleming
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Andria "Sissy" Jo-Jean Fleming, who left this world on July 10, 2025, at the age of 52. Born on February 8, 1973, in Muskogee, Oklahoma, Andria was a vibrant spirit who touched the lives of all who knew her. Her journey through life was a testament to her free soul and her unwavering love for the ones she cared for.
Sissy was a beloved daughter, sister, friend, & much more. She was preceded in death by her cherished son, Joshua Michael Allen Rhoden, her stepfather, and grandparents all of whom she held close to her heart. Their memories remained a guiding light for her, instilling in her a deep appreciation for family bonds and the importance of connection.
Throughout her life, Andria embraced every moment with an enthusiasm that was infectious. She was employed at Roughneck Supply, where her outgoing personality and strong work ethic shone brightly. Colleagues and friends alike admired her stubborn determination but also appreciated her willingness to have a different perspective and an open heart for change when it truly mattered. Her personality shown bright in every aspect of her life.
Andria had a profound love for nature; she cherished the time spent outdoors, finding peace and solace in the beauty around her. However, her greatest joy came from spending time with her family, particularly her three beloved grandchildren and her daughter. Sissy thrived in the laughter, warmth, and love that her family provided, and she will be remembered for the boundless affection she gave to those she loved.
As a proud and free-spirited woman, Andria lived life on her own terms. She was a true embodiment of resilience and strength, standing firm in her beliefs while always making space for love and understanding. Her legacy will live on in the hearts of those who loved her, as she showed us all what it meant to love deeply and to embrace life fully.
Sissy leaves behind a family who adored her, including her daughter and grandchildren, who will carry forward her spirit of love, joy, and stubborn determination. Though she may no longer walk among us, her vibrant energy and free soul will echo through our memories, reminding us to cherish every moment.
