DANTE, VIRGINIA - Agnes Pauline Blevins Fleenor, 90, died Sunday, January 27,

Blevins. On November 15, 1937 she married Mr. Boyd Ralph Fleenor and became a
resident of Dante, Virginia. She attended the Dante Assembly of God church where
she worked with the children's church and actively coordinated the costuming for
all Easter and Christmas productions. Her hobbies were quilting, music, and
gardening. Education was important to her. At the age of 70, she graduated with

Senior Citizens in Dante for many years and at St. Theresa's Catholic Church,
under the direction of Lilly and Pete Peterson, where she worked in the food
bank. She attended the Day Care Center managed by AASC about a year after she
became handicapped from a stroke. She was inducted into the SWVCC Hall of Fame
and she was active in the Dante Lives On project and Dante Miners Memorial. She
