Velda Elizabeth Fletcher, a local dietitian and church and community volunteer, died Tuesday at Park West Hospital after a medical emergency situation. She was 47 years old. Velda had been a member of the Little Springs Methodist since she was 11 years old, and participated in numerous mission projects, and was a member of the adult choir. She earned a Bachelor of Science degree and Master of Science degree from the University of West State. Velda gave her time to many charitable activities, especially Interfaith Health Clinic, and was a member of the Junior League. Along with these activities Velda was also a volunteer with Mission of Mercy, a Midville-based nonprofit group that collects and distributes school supplies and Christmas gifts to children in the area. Velda's sister said," Velda always had time for anyone. She devoted herself to her work and her family and her church. She just never said no to anything or anyone that she thought was worth while. We are going to miss her very, very much." Velda will be laid to rest in a graveside ceremony at Forest Cemetery on Saturday at 2:00 pm. Velda 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.
