On Thursday April 21, 2022, Ellen Fleming, daughter of the late Cornelius Fleming and Joan O’Donnell Fleming, passed away at the age of 75 as a result of cancer.
Ellen was born in New York City and grew up in Crestwood. She graduated from Annunciation Grammar School and from Our Lady of Victory High School, graduating in 1964. She also took courses at Pace University in New York City. Ellen lived most of her adult life in New York City and moved to White Pains in her retirement years after a long successful career working in the airline industry for Pan Am, British Airways and Royal Air Maroc. Her airline career enabled Ellen to travel the world which she loved.
Ellen is survived by her sisters Margaret Fleming Gildea and Joan Fleming Laule, her brothers Neil and Laurence, her nieces Tara, Kerry, Megan, Kristina, Jacqueline, Elizabeth, Kelly, her nephew Kevin and her long time very special friend Ann Samuels Fabrizio .
Ellen will always be remembered for her love of life – music, dancing and family. She had boundless energy and will be missed dearly by family and friends.
There will be a Mass at Annunciation Church in Crestwood, NY, on Thursday May 5th at 10 AM followed by burial at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Valhalla, NY.
In lieu of flowers, please make donations to Calvary Hospital, 1740 Eastchester Road, Bronx, NY 10461.

May 25, 2022 at 7:43 pmI have lived at 7 Lake Street and one of the highlights of my day was chatting with Ellen in front of the building. Such a positive lovely spirit. I was saddened to hear of her passing. We spoke of being in the travel business, our hearing aids and what a great day it was to be alive. Always upbeat. She will be missed at 7 Lake!!
