Michele "Mickey" Fleischman

Michele "Mickey" Fleischman (nee Wides), passed away Tuesday, January 20, 2026. She was

born January 11, 1943, to the late Ben and Pearl (nee Leventhal) Wides Roth. Devoted wife of Ronald Fleischman. Loving mother to Bindy (Kerry Tubbs) Fleischman. Beloved grandmother of Ian Tubbs. Sister to the late David Wides, Barry (Li/Cindy) Wides, and Ron (Ellen) Wides.

The life of the party without ever seeking to be the center of attention, Michele exuded vibrancy in everything she did. She sought beauty in the world as her expression of living. In the home that meant colorful decor and accents. For occasions and events, that meant stunning flowers with eye-popping arrangements. In her dress, she had an exquisitely pulled together "color story", (which always included eye-catching accessories and lipsticks,) for her own pleasure, not to impress others. An enthusiastic cheerleader for so many, she possessed a deep sense of justice, embodied the word unpretentious, and loved to share in singing, dancing and laughing with the people around her.

A funeral service will be held Friday, January 23 at 11:45AM at Weil Kahn Funeral Home (8350

Cornell Rd. Cincinnati, OH. 45249). Guests will be received from 11AM until time of service.

Burial will follow immediately at Golf Manor Cemetery (2111 Anderson Ferry Rd. Cincinnati, OH.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests memorial contributions to any organization that serves to uplift others, be it creative or academic, Jewish or secular, community-based or institutional. Mickey wanted more fairness, more kindness, and more understanding, and continuing to pursue these goals would be the ultimate tribute to her. (Please feel free to reach out to Ron or Bindy with any questions.)
