Patsy Jean Baker Fletcher

Mar 9, 2026

Patsy Jean Baker

Fletcher, of Middlebourne, WV, age 78,

passed away at home

on March 5, 2026.

She was a loving

mother, grandmother,

mother-in-law, aunt,

cousin, and friend. She

will be deeply missed

by many. Patsy was

the third child of Etta

Lena Hamilton Baker

and Fred Conway Baker.

Patsy graduated

from Tyler County

High School in 1966,

as the class valedictorian. After graduation she went to work

at PPG. On May 27,

1967, Patsy married

Robert LeMoyne

Lee Fletcher, II and

they made their home

in Middlebourne, WV.

Lee and Patsy had two

children, Robert

LeMoyne Fletcher, III

and Nancy Hart

Page: 1

Fletcher Kester. Most

of Patsy’s life revolved

around her children

and her love for her

family.

In the fall of 1979,

Patsy started driving a

bus for Tyler County

schools. In 1987, she

became the secretary at

Ellsworth Middle

School. Later in 1993,

she became the receptionist at Tyler Consolidated Middle/High

School. When the receptionist position was

dissolved in 2000,

Patsy went to work at

Arthur I. Boreman Elementary School as

their secretary until her

retirement in 2014.

During her 35 years of

service, Patsy influenced and touched the

lives of countless students, staff members,

parents, and the many

other individuals she

encountered. She truly

led a life of service,

dedicating her time

and talents.

Patsy was one of the

most well-rounded individuals you would

ever meet. Growing up

on a farm in Bearsville, WV she learned

how to garden, butcher, sew, and cook. She

had a wide range of interests and was eager

to master them all. She

made most of her

children’s clothing as

they were growing and

even made her

daughter’s prom dress

and wedding gown,

and yet Patsy had a

bigger garage and

more tools than anyone around, and she

knew how to use every

tool she owned! But at

the same time, Patsy

liked nice things, and

you couldn’t find a

more proper or refined

lady than Patsy Jean

Fletcher.

Patsy is preceded in

death by both of her

parents, her infant sibling, her brother

Donald Baker, and

husband, Lee Fletcher.

She is survived by her

children LeMoyne

(Stephanie) Fletcher of

Frederick, MD and

Nancy (Michael) Kester of Middlebourne,

WV. Patsy adored her

two grandsons, George

Chapman Kester of

Williamstown, WV

and Robert LeMoyne

Fletcher, IV of Frederick, MD. Patsy is also

survived by two dear

young men who

helped her with many

of her projects and became part of her family, Russell Evans of

Morgantown, WV and

Jordan Schultz of

Moundsville, WV.

Patsy is leaving behind

a recently rekindled

high school relationship with Jim Thomas

of Middlebourne, WV

who brought her much

joy in her last few

years.

Visitation will be

Monday, March 9,

2026, at Myers Funeral Home in Sistersville, WV, from 4:00

PM to 7:00 PM. At

Patsy’s request, she

will be laid to rest at

Blaine Memorial in

Cottageville, WV, near

her husband Lee,

where a private service

will be held for the

family. Pastor Don

Thomas will officiate.

If you knew Patsy,

you would know she

always had beautiful

flowers at her home

and in her workplace.

Instead of sending

flowers, Patsy would

want you to plant a

flower this spring and

think of her, or grow

something in your garden and remember

how much she enjoyed

being outside, working

in her garden.
