Elizabeth Fleming Obituary

Elizabeth M. Fleming TROY - Elizabeth Mary Fleming, 25, died suddenly of a cardiac arrest on Monday, March 11, 2013 at Albany Medical Center. Born in Albany, she was the daughter of Timothy M. Fleming (Edna Goldsmith) of Troy and Judith Coates Fleming Dickens (Douglas M. Dickens) of Raleigh, North Carolina. Raised and educated in North Carolina and Troy, she was a graduate of Cardinal Gibbons High School in Raleigh, NC and attended Appalachian State University, Boone, NC and Sage Colleges, Troy. Elizabeth Mary, Liz to her friends loved music and was a talented songwriter who grew up with a song in her heart. She possessed an ever ready willingness to share her music and soul and her spirit was contagious to all those she encountered. She leaves behind a rich legacy of love and compassion for fellow man and always treated all with warmth and joy. Her exuberance for life will be missed by all who knew her. Elizabeth influenced those whom she met and was a faithful friend. Her sense of humor could lighten your spirit and she loved to enrich the lives of others. Her time with us was short, but our lives were enriched by her infinite love, compassion and gratitude. Survivors in addition to her parents include a daughter Kathleen Sarah Bigley, grandmother Elizabeth DelTorto Coates of Troy, companion Sean Bigley of Albany and several aunts, uncles and cousins. Elizabeth was predeceased by her grandparents John and Mary Waters Fleming and William E. Coates.

Not a day goes by that I don't think of you or miss you. I'll always love and appreciate how you were there for me after Ginni died. You were and always will be one of my best friends. We accepted eachother for who we were and loved eachother unconditionally. I'd like to believe you are looking down with Ginni protecting through the hard times.

We all loved Lizz, and she loved us. Lizz was one of the greatest friends I ever had. We never fought, and she always made sure everyone had a good time. She lived life to the fullest, and her life was cut way too short.
