December 27, 1942 - April 9, 2011

Sandra Lou Fletcher, 68, of Winchester went home to her Heavenly Father early Saturday, April 9, 2011 at the Memorial Medical Center in Springfield. She was born Dec. 27, 1942 in White Hall, the daughter of George Estele and Hettie Maria Conner Cowper. Sandra married Charles R. Fletcher Dec. 1, 1967 in Glasgow. He survives in Winchester. Also surviving are three children, Christian Todd (Christine) Fletcher and Laura Leigh Fletcher all of Winchester, Michael Paul (Mary) Fletcher of Upland, IN; five grandchildren, Adam, Kaitlin, Ben, Gracelyn and Ayden Fletcher; and one brother, George (Brenda) Cowper of White Hall. Sandra worked for the Winchester Times newspaper for 24 years. Following her leaving the newspaper she was employed for 18 years by the Passavant Area Hospital in the patient registration department. She was a member of the First Baptist Church of Winchester where she was active in the women’s Bible study and missions groups. She was a member of the Winchester EMS. Sandra enjoyed attending the Monday Lunch Bunch with the “girls” and Explorers Bible Study at the Lincoln Avenue Baptist Church. In her younger days she enjoyed playing softball on Hatcher’s Trucking Women’s Softball Team. Her greatest joy in life, however, was the time she spent with her family, especially attending her grandchildren’s games and school activities. Funeral services will be held 10:00 a.m. Tuesday at the First Baptist Church of Winchester with interment in the Winchester City Cemetery. Visitation will be Monday after 3:00 p.m. with the family meeting friends from 4:00 until 8:00 p.m. at the Mackey Daws Funeral Home in Winchester.
