Laura Fleming, 53, of Wayne, died Saturday, October 10th, after a long illness. She was born August 4th, 1956, in Huntington, WV. She graduated from Wayne High School in 1974 and attended Marshall University. She was a member of Lewis Memorial Baptist Church where she was also employed as Director of Graphic Arts. Laura was preceded in death by her father, David S. Ferguson, and her mother, Neva Billups Ferguson. She is survived by Stephen Fleming, her husband of thirty years, two brothers, Mark and Wayne Ferguson, a very special sister-in-law and friend, Betty Fleming, who cared for her tirelessly during her illness, and by other dear friends too numerous to mention.

Donations to Hospice House in Huntington would be appreciated in lieu of flowers. Hall Funeral Home, Proctorville, Ohio is in charge of arrangements.

I have not meet the family personally however I was sorry to read that Laura Flemming passed, One thing I have learned as life goes on is how strong and sure God's love is, always ready to comfort and heal. With deepest sympathy and a prayer that his love will be with the family in a special way. May God comfort you at this time of sorrow and bless you through the days ahead. May the tender mercy that God has always shown be with you now so you will know that you are not alone and may others help in some small way to bring you strength and comfort and courage each day. Many words are expressed, yet we know God can and will express and provide to you and your family everything that is needed to care and sustain your hearts at this sad time. Sickness will not be with us forever. The prophet Isaiah pointed forward to the time when no one will say: I am sick. (Isaiah 33:24) My deepest sympathy to the family

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I haven't seen Laura since we graduated from high school in 1974, but she was a very special person way back then. I know she only got better. She was a gentle and kind friend while we attended school. Her family will be in my prayers.

Very saddened by the news of Laura's passing. Although we lost touch over the years, she remained a treasured part of my childhood memories. I have and will miss her terribly. Wayne, if you read this, drop me a line at my e-mail address posted here.

We just wanted to tell you how sorry we are to hear about Laura's passing. She was one of the finest christian ladies that we have met.
When I first began attending Lewis Memorial on a regular basis I was greeted by a lady asking about my wife when she was unable to attend. This was during the fellowship portion of the service. I soon learned of Laura's name and every time she saw me at church she would speak to me and make me feel welcome along with others. I am a quiet person by nature and without my wife people might think I'm stuck up. I could not believe this lady would remember my name because I'm shy with strangers. My wife does my talking.
Well, I'm trying to say that she and others made me feel so comfortable that I began observing what true christians are about. It has been said that a lot of times more than one person is involved in leading some one to Jesus. She was one of those people.
We moved to South Carolina after I retired and Sue was keeping in touch with her after she got sick and we were kept updated for a long time on how she was doing. Through reading her letters, she called more attention to God than herself. She talked about how He helped her and still blessed her.
It showed in what we saw and heard about Laura, that Jesus was living in her and she followed Him. One of the best examples on how to be a christian with drawing attention to God and not her problems.
We shall miss her and you have our deepest sympathy.
