Obituary: Jean Marie Fleck

Jean Marie Fleck, at 76

Jean Marie “Gaga” Fleck, a lifelong resident of Hull, passed away on Sunday, February 11, 2024. She was 76.

She was born in Boston to Mildred (Shea) and John Carvel Glawson, grew up in Hull, and graduated from Hull High School. She worked as an administrative assistant for the Town of Hull accounting department and the director of special education. Eventually, she worked as a clerk with the Hingham District Court until she retired. Mrs. Fleck took pride in being a longtime member of the Hull Democratic Town Committee.

Mrs. Fleck appreciated eating out a restaurant, accompanied by family, friends, and a good cocktail. She was fiercely independent, but very much enjoyed her social life, whether it was family, friends, or even her grand-pups, Bella and Buffett. In her spare time, she could be found sailing, boating, at the beach or tuning into a football game. She loved to travel, whether it be a vacation in Paris or Ireland or visiting friends in Naples, Florida, or Nantucket. She often sported fashionable outfits from her favorite clothing store, Talbots, and was a faithful customer for many years.

Mrs. Fleck had a big heart and a kind disposition that was met with a tough, no-nonsense attitude. She was always true to her word and straightforward with everyone she met. She will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

Devoted mother of Jay Fleck and his wife, Michelle, of Hull. Proud grandmother of Owen Patrick Fleck of Hull, a student at Deerfield Academy. Also survived by many cousins and dear friends who were like siblings to her.

She was predeceased by her parents and her former husband and dear friend, John Leonard Fleck, Jr.
