Eloise June Fleming, daughter of the late John Frank and Myrtle Maude (Barton) Kasbaum, was born June 12, 1922, in Stella, Oklahoma, and was translated from this place to her eternal rest May 21, 2018, at Alva, Oklahoma, at the age of 95 years, 11 months and 9 days. June graduated from Norman High School. She met the love of her life, Walden Ralph Fleming, in Stroud, Oklahoma. On January 6, 1942, she was united in marriage to Walden in Pueblo, Colorado. After Walden served over 3 years in the military, he went to work for the Santa Fe Railroad. During that time, they lived in La Junta, Colorado; Clovis, New Mexico; Barstow, California; and Emporia, Kansas, where he was working when he retired. They then moved to Mountainair, New Mexico, then Alva.
June will always be remembered as a strong woman. She was committed to gardening, feeding livestock, gathering eggs, baking and taking in others' clothes to wash and iron, thus supplementing Dad's income for the family of six without neglecting her duties as a homemaker. Notice, she was not the wife of a house, she was the maker of a home, her words on many an occasion. Every place June lived, she felt the need to be helping someone. She loved her family. She loved her grandkids. She loved her great grandkids. At 95 she wanted to even help raise her great great granddaughters. June was well known for her motto, "You are here to serve, not to be served."
Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by one infant son; three infant daughters; one brother, Samuel Kasbaum; four sisters, Geneva Bynum, Telma McMahon, Joyce Danner, and Edith Arnold; one grandson, Phillip Andrew Fleming; and one great grandchild.
June is survived by three sons, Walden R. Fleming Jr. and wife, Nancy, of Amarillo, Texas, Gary Alan Fleming and wife, Sharon, of Fresno, California, and Randall Lynn Fleming and wife, Terry, of Lake Havasu City, Arizona; one daughter, Pamela Kay Moore and husband, Russell, of Basehor, Kansas; two brothers, John Kasbaum and Hank Kasbaum; and two sisters, Jeanie Wolfe and Patricia Hill; 14 grandchildren; 25 great grandchildren; and seven great great grandchildren; other relatives and friends.
Memorial contributions may be made through the funeral home to College Hill Church of Christ Bible Chair.
