Marie Fleming

September 24, 1947 — February 27, 2022

Marie Fleming, 74, passed away on February 27, 2022. Her family will receive friends between 4:00 and 6:00 PM Saturday afternoon at the James A. McAlister Funeral Home, 1620 Savannah Hwy. The Committal will take place at The Citadel Columbarium attended by her family. Online condolences may be made at www.CharlestonFunerals.com

Marie was born in Florence, SC, on September 24, 1947, a daughter of the late Josephine Earle Johnson and Carlyle James Andrews. She grew up in Florence and Columbia, SC, before moving to Charleston. Marie attended St. Andrews Junior High and St. Andrews High School, graduating in 1965. She then graduated from Winthrop College in 1969. By luck and narrow circumstances, she ran into her Jr. High school bus driver Giles Fleming outside No. 4 Barracks at The Citadel in November of 1969. From that point on they were destined to be together and were married May 2, 1970, at The Summerall Chapel.

Marie had a very successful career as a Real Estate Broker for more than 40 years where she met and made friends with many of her clients. She was always a person of fashion and style, she loved clothes, jewelry and getting her hair and nails done. Marie loved her many dogs most recently and especially, Lucy; going out to dinner with her friends and family; and going to the beach - she could never get enough sun. She is now where the sun is always shining, probably has the shiniest crown and will soon try to redecorate - God willing

Marie is survived by her husband of almost 52 years, Giles and their son (her proudest accomplishment), Michael Jason; daughter-in-law, Jessica and two wonderful grandsons, Jack and JW, all of whom she loved very much.

Arrangements by James A. McAlister, Inc. (843) 766-1365.
