I KNOW IT HAS BEEN A YEAR BUT YES I DO MISS MARY AND bRO. FLEMING STILL!!  BRENDA NEWMAN

Just discovered this on FB.  Was saved at age 13 at DBT under Bro. Fleming.  Married at DBT and loved both Mary and Bro. Fleming.  Clyde and Jane Berry were my "parents in Christ".  Fond memories of Fleming family.  Judy Parent Gandy

Remembering the first day at Dayton Baptist Temple... I can't. I wasn't a yr old. The service was in a basement. It grew & grew. This is the Lord's work given to Preacher Fleming and Mrs Fleming. I remember them to this day. I miss those days. I miss them as I recall last seeing them. I haven't forgotten The Dayton Baptist Temple nor any part of my raising there, thanks to everyone that was a part of the Church. Remembering... Mrs. Fleming is very much a part of the memories, as is the members, VBS, being Saved & baptised. Thank God for this family, all of them, & The Dayton Baptist Temple & giving me the time I had there and the lessons I learned. Jesus is my Savior.

Ann & I loved Bro Fleming and Mary. I think back to those days with fond memories. After just losing my mom, I thought about those words Bro Fleming would say "Heaven is getting sweeter" as those old saints passed away in the church. Bro. Fleming was such a dynamic preacher and had such a love for the unsaved. That is not true with many churches today. I am so thankful for the years we spent at the Dayton Baptist Temple under the ministry of Pastor Fleming and Mary. My heart and prayers go out to the family. I know they will miss Mary as I do my mom and Heaven truly is getting sweeter as these saints move on to Glory. May God richly richly bless the Fleming family.

what a friend and sister in Christ Mary is to my wife and I, sense of humor, devotion to God and family..all a person can ask. Thank you God for bringing Mary into our lives

Dear Fleming Family
We loved your Dad and Mother very much and they both have been such an inspiration to us both.
God bless your family.

May this be a time of deep reflection, and may God's peace, understanding, and comfort be with you during these difficult days.

I can't say enough about mary and Bro. Fleming. My heart breaks when I know they really are gone. But they aren't really!! They are in the pressence of the lord. Bro. fleming's favorite verse was psalms 37 verse 5. So now she is together with him. It is so hard for me to express my feelings. I knew mary and preacher from the 60's as a small child who came to vacation bible school and got saved. Bro. fleming and mary took an interest in me and i am grateful i had the opprounity to know them both. The fleming family always cared about me. nancy and carolyn and maryyn rachel and phil and steve. Oh how i wish I could be there. please remember me as i loved them both. praying for you at this most difficult time!!  Brenda newman dayton ohio I will meet you in the morning by the bright riverside where all sorrow has riffted away. I love you all.

As the days and weeks pass, and as you return to life's routine, may you continue to feel comforted by the love and support of family and friends. I met Mrs. Fleming on a couple of occassions and I have only pleasant memories of her. She was a wonderful and kind person to be around. We all know that she is in a better place. To be absent from the body is to be present with The Lord.

I started attending DBT in 1951 and continued there until 1966 when we relocated to Texas.  I recall many wonderful memories of Mary and Bro. Fleming and the kids(particularly Steve).  I remember when Dale came to visit you for the summer when we were building the new sanctuary. What great times!!  My sincere sympathy to all of you - you are remembered and loved!

Our hearts were so saddened to hear of the passing of Mary Fleming. She and Preacher Fleming were a great blessing to us. We were members of  the Dayton Baptist Temple from our early teen years, until we surrendered during a mission conference there, to go to Indonesia as missionaries in 1974.  At one point, Mary and Preacher took our son David into their home, and let him make their home, his home away from home, while he was in college, and we are so thankful. Mary, we can only imagine how happy Preacher will be to see you once more, and we know you will also be happy to see him, and the Lord you love.  We are now members of Cornerstone Baptist Temple , Our Pastor is Dr. Jerry Siler.  Our deepest sympathy goes out to the entire Fleming family.  Our prayers are with you all. Wish we could be there , but we are in Indonesia, still serving the Lord . Hugs from afar,  Dave and Carole Ross, Indonesia

Our hearts were sad to hear the news of the passing of Mary Fleming. My, what fond memories we have of her, and her husband Pastor Gerald O. Fleming.  We were members of the Dayton Baptist Temple from our early teen years till we felt the call to go to the mission field of Indonesia in 1974. What a blessing and a help Bro and Mrs Fleming were to us. We thank God for both of them, and for their influence on our lives. At one point, while we were in Indonesia, they gave our son David a home away from home, while he was in college , and we are so thankful.  We are now  members of Cornerstone Baptist Temple and our Pastor is  Jerry Siler.  Farewell Mary, we can just imagine how happy Preacher Fleming will be to see you once more, and we know you will be  just as happy to see him, and to see the Lord you loved .  Our hearts go out to the entire Fleming family, and our love and prayers are with you all.  Wish we could be  there at this time, but we are in Indonesia, still serving the Lord.

Thank God for Bro. and Mrs. Fleming.
Because of their work and sacrifice Lana and I came to know the Lord.  We just want to say thanks to each of you, their family and love ones. We are praying for you.What a reunion it must have been when Mary got home.  Thanks for the memories.

Mary holds very wonderful memories in my heart.  Mary was always a loving, devoted Wife, Mother and Friend.  Mary was so beautiful inside and out. What an elegant lady.  My life has been truly blessed and I thank the Lord for allowing me to have had Mary in my life.  I will always have fond memories of the time that I was able to share with Mary.  I send all my love & prayers to the Fleming family, you all mean so much to me.

My life has been truly blessed by having Mary In my life.  I will always have fond memories of Mary.  I send all my Love & Prayers to her family.  The Fleming family has been a blessing to me and I love you all!  Cheryl "McGinnis" Seigel (Dayton, OH)

My deepest sympathy to the Fleming family. My thoughts and prayers are with you during this difficult time. I have such vivid and wonderful memories of Pastor Fleming and Mary from when my family attended Dayton Baptist Temple during my early childhood years. My family were members at the Temple from the time I was born until I was six years old. Even at such a young age, I can remember the church was always packed, Bro. Fleming was such a dynamic preacher, and something exciting was always happening, yet he and Mary always found a way to know their people on a personal level. They made such a great impact on me in my very young life and established a great foundation for my life! I will always cherish and appreciate that, along with all the wonderful memories of them!

My love and prayers to each of you in dear Mary's family.  Many memories flood my heart in remembering her and Pastor Gerald O. (GO!) Fleming.  After receiving the Lord as our Saviour in 1956 in what was then the basement of Dayton Baptist Temple, we were privileged to learn under the preaching of the WORD, going on to teach classes, sing in the choir, learn soul-winning, and then surrendering to full-time service to serve as missionaries with the Tarahumara and Mayo Indians in Mexico.  My Ralph must be enjoying a wonderful reunion in Heaven with his dear friends as they worship at the feet of our Lord Jesus.  God bless all of you.  Barbara Wimm

May God bless you as you go through this time.  Our memories go back to Bible College days and when the Flemings first started Dayton Baptist Temple and Gerald and Mary lived in the back of a beauty salon.  We spent many days together talking about how to start our first churches, and also the many VBS's we had with them.  Mary was always a very precious lady and very supportive of her husband and a great mother.  I know you are going to miss her.

Dr. and Mrs. Fleming were great servants of the Lord who not only founded and served the Dayton Baptist Temple, but also had a love for world missions and missionaries.  They were an important part of many missionaries' lives.

We want to express our sincere sympathy to all of your family as we hold dear many memories of times shared while at DBT. Mary and Preacher were always more than gracious demonstrating their love for Christ and his work, resulting in countless lives being affected as a result of their sacrifice and labor over the years. We are sorry for your loss...yet rejoice with you in knowing that the hope we have in Jesus Christ.....for Mary is now a reality.

My Prayers for the family

I have many fond memories of the Fleming family and dedication they had to the Dayton Baptist Temple.  Mary was always so beautiful and kind.  I remember the time I introduced my husband to Preacher and Mary and how nice they were to him.

My memories of Mary Fleming go back to some of my earliest memories as a child.  She was a beautiful and generous lady.  I loved spending the night many times in the Fleming home and I always felt a warm welcome. We played crochet and watched bats in the backyard.  We have pictures of the Fleming kids and Fritts kids  at birthday parties.  She had my wedding shower at her home and I felt so special.  I have lasting pictures in my mind of her and pastor as a young handsome couple.  I can remember her getting on me and Nancy at times when we got into trouble but she was never harsh.  I still flashback to the Darst Ave house from time to time.  Mary was always a good friend to my mother, Margaret and we have many memories of talking after church and going out to eat. Although I haven't seen Mary for so many years, I feel a real sense of loss.  I am grateful for her beautiful life. God be with all of you as you grieve.  I am sure there is a beautiful reunion of your mom and dad in heaven.

I was so sorry to hear of your loss.  The thoughts of many are with you at this time of sorrow.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you in your time of grief.  May your memories bring you comfort.

Hillsboro Memorial Funeral Home and Gardens offers our sincerest condolences to you and your family.
