Vera Fleming, of Summit, New Jersey, passed away on Saturday, November 2, 2013. She was 81 years old.

Born and raised in Jersey City, Vera lived in both Georgia and Virginia before settling in Summit in 1968. She graduated from St. Aloysius High School, Jersey City, in 1949 and Caldwell College, Caldwell NJ, in 1953.

Vera was devoted to her community and was passionate about education. She taught the 4th grade at Lincoln Elementary School in Summit (now known as Lincoln-Hubbard Elementary) for thirty years before her retirement in 1998. Although she switched grades a few times, she always came back to her beloved fourth graders and touched countless lives during her teaching career.
