Her earthly portals were crossed on June 24, 1972 in Shreveport, La., where final rites were held on June 28. Reverend A. E. Davis and other ministers officiating at St. Paul United Methodist Church. A lifelong, devoted and dedicated member of the Methodist faith, Mrs. Fletcher was also a loving wife, mother, sister and friend. An outstanding educator in Louisiana where she served as teacher and General Supervisor for nearly three decades, her untiring and sincere devotion to her chosen profession brought esteem and love from all with whom she came in contact. She retired as General Supervisor in Caddo Parish, a position she held for some 23 years, in 1969, because of illness. Mrs. Fletcher was formerly married to the late Rev. J. D.
