Asheville- Genevieve Coulson Overstreet Fleischman, 85, died peacefully at her home in Asheville on Tuesday morning, May 21, 2024.

Born in Tilden, Illinois to Genevieve Bell Coulson and Charles Coulson, she is survived by her beloved children Charles Dana Overstreet (Mary), David Andrew Overstreet (Ayshea Grainger), Mark Fleischman (Nancy Peckenham), Janis Fleischman (Jerome Lewanski), Margo Fleischman Tolins Mejia (John); her brothers Charles E. Coulson (Nancy) and James Coulson; and her twelve grandchildren and eleven great grandchildren.

Although she returned to Asheville later in life, she was a longtime resident of Greensboro, North Carolina. Genevieve leaves behind a community of dedicated friends who enriched her throughout her entire life and during her illness.

The family would like to thank Four Seasons Hospice, particularly Tim Barrett who was their mother’s nurse for almost three years. The family would also like to acknowledge Ms. Jane Helms with a very special thank you for her longtime friendship, support, and assistance to their mother at the end of her life. The family thanks Givens Home First and Young Home Care staff for their excellent support and care during Genevieve’s final days.

A private family service celebrating Genevieve’s life will be held at a later date.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made in Genevieve’s honor to either Four Seasons Compassion for Life, 571 S. Allen Road, Flat Rock, NC 28731 or to The Cathedral of All Souls Episcopal Church, 9 Swan Street, Asheville, NC 28803.

Groce Funeral Home at Lake Julian is assisting the family.
