It is said that when a child is born the Angels sing. The celebration when a child of God comes home must be incredible! On Sunday August 2, 2015 the angels in heaven shared that celebration with Shirley Jane Fletcher when she was called home to be with her Lord and Savior. Mrs. Fletcher was a simple woman from a simple time in life. Her family was her heart and the source of her greatest joy. She loved her children, her grandchildren and her great grandchildren with all of her being. Whether she was making quilts and prayer books for new babies or cooking Thanksgiving dinner for all that were blessed to be at her table, she was the center of family life. Shirley loved being outdoors, enjoying nature and all the wonders God has given to us all.  Her family’s memories will include camping trips and fishing adventures.  There was never a bad day along a river bank as far as she was concerned. She also enjoyed a good game of dominoes with family and friends.  Her infectious laugh was the highlight of many of the games. Shirley Jane Fletcher will be remembered by her family with love and laughter. The book of Proverbs tells us that a righteous woman is more valuable than rubies.  Shirley was that woman and her children will arise and call her blessed.  We will all rejoice when we meet again. Shirley is survived by her son, Mark Fletcher and wife Denise of Shreveport, LA; daughter, Kathy Giddens and husband Garry of Natchitoches, LA; brother, Samuel Guynes and wife Wanda of Troy, Montana; grandchildren, Brooke Droptini and husband Sean, Kate Fletcher and husband Adam Corken, Matthew Fletcher, James William "Bill" Grice and wife Jamie, Michelle Douget and husband Brandon, Kim Crigger and husband Jason, and Alisa Sanders and husband “Deuce”; great grandchildren, Elizabeth Droptini, Noah Sweetland, Mary Elizabeth Sweetland, Daniel "Doc" Holden, Cadence Sanders, Makayla Sanders and Emery Douget. She was preceded in death by her husband, William Clayton Fletcher; and brothers, Jerry and Cleo Guynes. Those honored to serve as pallbearers are James W. "Bill" Grice, Sean Droptini, Matthew Fletcher, Adam Corken, Brandon Douget, and Noah Sweetland.
