Jackie Lee Fletcher, 73, of Salem, went to be with the Lord on Friday, July 30, 2021.
Jackie is remembered for being a kind and warm-hearted gentleman. Well known for his seamster capabilities it was not uncommon to find him working away tirelessly on a wedding dress for a new bride or suit for a local businessman with a smile on his face enjoying every moment. He loved his family and friends wholeheartedly, but you did not have to second guess where you stood with him. There were no gray areas in his personal opinions, it was always either black or white. He was a member of Seneca Baptist Church in Elliston, for over twenty years. If he wasnt sewing or woodworking, you could find him relaxing and singing along to some of his favorite southern gospel songs. Jackie no doubt has left behind a loving impression on the hearts of many and will be truly missed.
He is preceded in death by his parents, James Daniel and Mildred Louise Fletcher; brother, J.D. Fletcher; sister, Judy Fletcher; sister-in-law, Sharon Lynn Fletcher; niece and nephews, Matthew Eubank and Charles Fletcher; and niece, Tammy Fletcher.
