The wife of a Pelzer pastor died Friday after she was involved in a traffic collision on her way home from work.

Renee Flemming, 47, wife of the Rev. Robert Flemming of First Baptist Church of Pelzer, died in Greenville Hospital System after being involved in a two-car collision on S.C. 20 near Brown Road in Greenville County.

Lance Cpl. Kathy Hiles with the South Carolina Highway Patrol said Flemming’s car, a 2008 Chrysler PT Cruiser, was struck head-on by another car, a 2006 Ford truck, around 7:30 a.m. Friday. The driver of the truck, David Nixon, 29, of Lyman, was injured in the crash and taken to the Greenville Hospital System, where he was treated and released, Hiles said.

The cars were traveling in opposite directions on S.C. 20 at the time of the collision, Hiles said. Nixon has been charged with driving left of center, she said.

According to the Rev. Bennie Durham, a friend of the Flemming family, the family is coming to grips with the loss.

“They still feel like she would walk through that door any minute,” Durham said.

The Flemmings were married for 30 years and had two adult children: their daughter, Ashley, who is married with two children of her own, and a son, Jeremy, Durham said. Both children live in Greenville.

The community support has been overwhelming, Durham said.

“There’s been people here at the home in and out all day,” he said. “A lot of pastors have been here to visit, and a lot of members of the congregation as well.”

Flemming has been pastor at the Pelzer church for the past five years, Durham said.

Services will take place in the Flemmings’ home church, Monaghan Baptist Church in Greenville. Visitation will take place on Monday from 6 p.m. o 8 p.m., while the funeral is set to begin Tuesday at 2 p.m.
