She was blessed with grandchildren who were the light of her life, Collin Davis Hobbs and wife Lauren, MacKenzie Clements Crowder and husband Richard, Ashleigh Fleming Mizelle and husband Ryan, Thomas “Teddy” Fleming Jr. and fiancée Karley Eason, and Andrew “Andy” Fleming. Her love extended to her great grandchildren, Landyn Hobbs, Lucas Hobbs and Colson Crowder, each of whom brought her immense joy and pride.
