After college, Velda worked as a clinical dietician and diabetes educator and spent many years in management in the Dieticians department at the University of West State Medical Center.
Velda was a devoted volunteer with Mission of Mercy, a Midville-based not for profit group that collects and distributes school supplies and Christmas gifts to children in the area. She gave her time to many charitable activities, especially Interfaith Health Clinic, and was a member of the Junior League. Velda belonged to many national, regional and local professional organizations.
She was a member of Little Springs Methodist Church since she was 11, active in the adult choir and participated in numerous missions projects.
She is survived by her parents Gina and Vandergriff Fletcher; brother and sister-in-law Vandergriff and Davida Fletcher; sister Vonda Fletcher Reed; and various nieces and nephews.
Graveside services are Saturday at Forest Cemetary in Midville at 2 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to Mission of Mercy.
