Betty attended school in Marshall, Texas and accepted Christ at St. John Baptist Church. She was united in holy matrimony to Frank Dickey, and later in life, to Donald Fletcher. Betty worked for City Laundry and Home and Health care  for many years. She loved to sing and loved gambling on the “boats”.  Betty was well loved and will be truly missed by all who knew and loved her. The Betty Fletcher Family would like to extend special thanks to the staff members at Marshall Manor, DaVita Dialysis and GSMC Longview for their attention and care for Betty.
