Miss Fleischman was a wonderful lady - she will always be remembered for how she touched the lives of many, many people in very positive ways. We pray for God to bless her - we know he called another lovely angel home.
I was sorry to hear that Luella had passed away. She was my teacher for 4 years at BlueBell school. She was a great teacher and a good friend to my mom, Ann Pechman. She will be missed.
My Aunt Luella was one of my favorite people. She would do anything for me. We would sit in the front of her house and talk. She is going to be missed by many people especially me.
She was an amazing women, she my school principal and my neighbor she had always went out of her way to help her students. She will be missed.
I'm so sorry for the loss of Miss Fleischman. She was a wonderful lady and I'm proud to say she was my teacher. She will be truly missed.
What a wonderful person. She taught me at River Grove and was a close friend of my mother, Marian Koss. My favorite memory of Ms Fleischman, the look on her face when, we as a class, gave her a dozen red roses for Christmas. She beamed from ear to ear... and so did we. Heaven gained another angel
It is with deep sorrow I learned of Luella's death. My prayers and condolences go out to the Fleischman family. The children she taught came first and foremost to her. I was a principal with her when I lived in Antigo. Deacon Tom
