Kristi Ann Fleming, 69, entered into eternal rest on Tuesday, February 4, 2025, after a courageous battle with glioblastoma. She was born on December 25, 1955, in Reedsburg, WI. She grew up in Loganville with her 4 siblings and graduated from Webb High School in the class of 1974.

She will be remembered most for her kind, gentle spirit, her love and respect for others and her hard work. She lived her life knowing the Holy Spirit produces “Fruits of the Spirit” in lives of believers. Love, Joy, Peace, Patience, Kindness, Goodness, Faithfulness, Gentleness and Self Control were words she reminded people of often.

Kristi and Patrick E. Fleming were united in marriage in the beautiful setting of Durward’s Glen in Baraboo, WI, on May 26, 1979. Blessed with 2 wonderful sons, they built a beautiful life together. Kris was a devoted, loving mother; enjoyed memorable family vacations, camping trips, soccer and tennis tournaments, and biking and hiking in the great outdoors.

Prior to her retirement at age 59, she was employed as administration supervisor at Meriter Hospital - NewStart Outpatient Clinic, among various other roles earlier in her career. Her retirement years were enjoyed playing pickleball, spending time with family and friends, spending winter months at The Villages in Florida. Kris and Patrick were fortunate to travel to places throughout the U.S., but international travel was a favorite, making memories and new friends while visiting 5 continents and over 40 countries.

Kris is survived by her husband of 45 years Patrick Fleming; sons Ryan (Ashly) of Sandy, UT; Christopher (Alexis) of Wilton, CT. Her grandsons Cooper, Miles & Beckham, and her granddaughter Charleigh.
