Monitor staff January 13, 2009 - 12:00 am

Viola M. (Duguay) Fleming, 86, cherished matriarch, passed away surrounded by her family on Saturday, Jan. 10, 2009, at the Concord Regional Visiting Nurse Association Hospice House after a brief illness.

Viola was born Oct. 7, 1922, in Rumford, Maine. She was the youngest child of the late Arnold J. Duguay and Emma Gallant Duguay. She graduated from Rumford High School and lived in Rumford for many years until moving to Concord in the mid `70s with her husband. She worked in retail at J.J. Newberry`s in Rumford. She was a past president of the Sunset Club of Concord and volunteered with the New Hampshire Arabian Horse Association.

Viola was a longtime resident of the Florence B. Hodges Complex in Concord. She loved to crotchet and was very artistic with her patterns. She was also a gifted musician who particularly enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, playing bingo, writing letters, reading, watching TV, and going to Bible study. She was an affectionate and thoughtful mother, grandmother and friend. She was an animal lover with a special place in her heart for the rough collie and the Arabian horse.

Viola was predeceased by her husband and soul mate, Willard "Bill" Jerome Fleming, on April 17, 1979. They met on July 16, 1943, and were married Aug. 16, 1943, in Rumford. They raised four children together.

Her family would like to thank Dr. Katherine Brower and all the caring nurses and volunteers at Concord Hospice House for their dedication and support during Viola`s illness.

Viola is survived by her children, Catherine "Kady" and her husband, William "Bill" Conn, of Pembroke, Sandra "Sandie" and her husband, Rowell "Rocky" McHatten Jr., of Castle Hill, Maine, Susan "Susie" and her husband, Robert "Butch" Conn, of Bow, and Willard "Will" Fleming Jr. and his wife, Tamara "Tammy," of East Haven, Conn.; eight grandchildren; eight great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandson; several nieces and nephews; and many close friends and relatives.

Three brothers, Arthur, J. Leon and J. Milton; and one sister, Yvette Boivin, predeceased her.
