Agnes S. Fleetham
It is with deep sorrow that we announce the death of our mother, Agnes S. Fleetham, of Charlotte, MI, who left us on May 22, 2024 after a beautifully lived life. She was born on June 17, 1930, in Elsie, MI to Mary and Andrew Bohil; part of a big family consisting of four sisters and one brother, all preceding her in death. She married George H. Fleetham on May 26, 1951. In the early 60’s, the family moved to Valley Cottage, New York, for George’s job. Following his passing in 1974, Agnes moved herself and the five children back to their roots in Michigan. Agnes was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church and was employed as a cook at the former Emmanuel Nursing Home. As well as her cooking talents, she enjoyed spending time with her family, was a voracious reader, loved jigsaw puzzles, watching Jeopardy, sewing, and keeping up with her Czech heritage of language and baking. She was also quite a techy with her cell phone and Alexa screen device!
Preceding her in death were her husband, George H. Fleetham in 1974; and granddaughter Chelsea Fleetham Deliso in 2019. She is leaving a legacy through her children, Charles (Asya) Fleetham, Lorraine (Tim) Duning, David Fleetham, Gail (Marshall) Williams, and Ann-Marie (Roger) Snyder; eight grandchildren, Emily Williams, Madeline Harper, Derek Fleetham, Solomon Duning, Taylor Williams, Gage Snyder, Siena Snyder, and Sarah Snyder; four great-grandchildren, Warner and Cameron Fleetham, Nikolas Harper, and Leilah Froman.
To commemorate her incredible journey of life, laughter, and resilience and to celebrate the lives she touched of all who knew her, a Funeral Mass will be celebrated on Monday, June 3, 2024, 1:00 p.m. at St. Mary Catholic Church in Charlotte, with Rev. Fr. Dwight Ezop officiating. A visitation will be held just prior at the church from 11:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m. Interment will take place at Sunfield Cemetery in Sunfield, MI. The funeral will be webcast so you may watch it from any computer, smartphone, or mobile device that has internet access.
