Velda Elizabeth Fletcher, noted local dietitian, died Tuesday night at Park West Hospital. She was 47 years old.
Fletcher was 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. Fletcher earned a Bachelor of Science degree in 1984 and a Masters degree in Science from the University of West State.
Velda Fletcher gave her time to many charitable activities, especially Interfaith Health Clinic, and was a member of the Junior League. She spent many years in management in the dieticians department at the University of West State Medical Center and also belonged to the national, regional and local dieticians and diabetes-educator professional organizations. Fletcher had been a member of Little Springs Methodist since she was 11 years old and sang in the adult choir. She was a 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.
Graveside services will be held at 2:00 at Forest Cemetery. Instead of flowers, the family requests that memorials be made to Mission of Mercy.
