VermontBiz Vermont State University, and especially our Castleton campus, is deeply saddened to learn that Honoree Fleming, PhD., 77, a retired Dean of Education, died yesterday as a victim of a homicide on the D&H Rail Trail a mile from the Castleton campus.
Honoree was a beloved dean and professor at Castleton and an impressive researcher with countless papers published. Faculty, staff, and students alike loved her. Honoree was a true member of the Castleton family. Honoree lived in Castleton with her husband, Ron Powers, a Pulitzer Prize-winning and New York Times bestselling author.
Vermont State President Mike Smith said, “Our hearts go out to the members of our community who taught with Honoree and had her as a beloved teacher during their time at Castleton. Our deepest sympathies go to her husband, Ron, family, and friends.
This is an unbelievable tragedy for the Castleton campus and for all of Vermont State University. Honoree will be deeply missed.”
