Mary Louise “Susie” Fleming, 94, of Bell Acres, passed away on January 17th, 2025, a few months shy of her 95th birthday. 

She was born in Mountain Top, Pennsylvania on April 8th, 1930, the daughter of the late Joseph and Mary (Leyfert) Richardson. In addition to her parents, she was preceded in death by her loving husband, Thomas “Turkey Tom” Fleming, brothers-in-law, Robert Fleming, Arnie Rothhaar and Allen Householder, sister-in-law, Marie Rothhaar, and a son-in-law, William Striffler. She is survived by her four daughters, Kathy (Doug) Rosco of Littleton, Colorado, Tracy (Tim) Benson of Bell Acres, Debby (Norman) Meanor of Bell Acres and Cindy Striffler of Bell Acres; eleven grandchildren: Tyler, Tommy, Ben, Becky, Kyle, Cory, Logan, Brock, Lexie, Shaun and Chelsea; nine great-grandchildren: Tristan, Jade, Cienna, Brody, Addison, Jase, Mya, Reagan and Riley; and two sisters-in-law, Helenrose “Cookie” Fleming and Jere Le Householder. 

Mary grew up in Ambridge, and spent most of her life in Bell Acres, in the home she and her husband built. She also loved animals.  She had five feral cats that she took care of and would feed deer when they would come to her yard.  She was an avid gardener, outdoorswoman, and game show watcher. Mary also worked at The Edgeworth Club for twenty-five years until her retirement.
