Irma E. Fleming age 93 of Wayne died Wednesday, March 31, 2010 at the Saint Joseph’s Hospital in Wayne. Her passing was graciously peaceful.
She was born in Paterson and had lived there before moving to Wayne seven years ago to live in the Sisco Village Seniors Center.
She was a member of the Preakness Baptist Church in Wayne where she was active in the Young at Heart Seniors and in the community of Wayne she was a member of the Golden Age Seniors.
Irma was a very special and dedicated Mother who loved her children dearly. Her son Edward had very special needs and she kept him with her until his fifty-eighth birthday at which time she planned for his future without her by arranging for him to live at “Spectrum For Living” a beautiful group home in Ringwood. The transition was emotionally difficult for both mother and son but as things turned out it was a necessary resolution to both of their lives. This is an example of the power of a Mother’s love at work. Any Mother with a lesser dedication would have given up and institutionalized her son a long time ago. Instead she dedicated her love to Edward and provided a wonderful loving atmosphere, as long as she could, that only a mother could provide.
As part of her motherly dedication she made sure that Ed was dressed to perfection as a gentleman and she would often be seen in church with Ed at her side.
Edward also made life for Mom a little easier by being compliant and loving his mother in appreciation for her many sacrifices.
Surviving are her daughter Carole Fenners of Oak Ridge; one son Edward C. Matano of Ringwood; three grandchildren including Doreen Baxter and her husband Len, Marc Fenners and his wife Laura and Debra Guerra and her husband Craig, the late Todd Fenner's wife Christie; eight great grandchildren Alyssa, Amy and David Baxter, Ethan and Matthew Guerra, Grace, Joshua and Jessica Fenners.
Tragedy visited her life when in 1962 her first husband Carlo L. Matano died and in 1984 her second husband William Fleming predeceased her and in 2005 when her grandson Todd Fenners died of cancer.
For those that are planning an expression of sympathy, in Irma’s memory, are asked to consider the “Spectrum For Living Group Home”, 210 Rivervale Road, Rivervale, NJ 07675.
