Velda Elizabeth Fletcher, 47, passed away at Park West Hospital Tuesday, February 16, 2010 after a medical emergency situation. She is survived by her parents Vandergriff and Gina Fletcher, brother and sister-in-law Vandergriff and Davida Fletcher, sister Vonda Fletcher Reed and various nieces and nephews.
Velda was a noted local dietician and devoted volunteer with Mission of Mercy, a Midville-based nonprofit group that collects and distributes school supplies and Christmas gifts to children in the area. At one time, she served as the Sunday school department director in the Singles Program. Throughout the years, Fletcher participated in numerous mission projects.
"Velda always had time for anyone," sister Vonda Fletcher Reed said. "She devoted herself to her work and her family and her church. My children always felt like she was their second mother- sometimes their first. She just never said no to anything or anyone that she thought was worthwhile. We are going to miss her very, very much."
Services will be held at 2:00 p.m., Feb. 20, at Forest Cemetery, off of Lexington Rd. in Midville. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Mission of Mercy.
