Mavis Lyn Fletcher, 100, passed away on April 15, 2026 in Omaha, Nebraska. She was born in Jamaica, West Indies.

Mavis will be remembered as a kind hearted, God fearing woman, who put her family first. From humble beginnings, she attended and graduated from West Indies College (Northern Caribbean University) in Mandeville, Jamaica. With her husband of over 50 years, she moved to Lincoln, Nebraska in 1963 to attend Union College (Union Adventist University), graduating with a degree in English. Her teaching career which started with the Omaha Public School system included time in elementary, high school, and college education, in Nebraska, Maryland, California, and Jamaica.

Mavis converted to the Seventh Day Adventist Church, leading her to attend West Indies College where she met Maniel Joseph Emanuel Fletcher.  Her favorite hobby was sewing, and she became an accomplished seamstress. Though she became a United States citizen she was proud of her Jamaican heritage and remained in contact with her extended Jamaican family. She had a special bond with her two grandchildren, Mackenzie and Easton.

Mavis is survived by son, Garth (Carol) Fletcher; grandchildren, Mackenzie and Easton; and numerous extended family members.

Mavis was preceded in death by her husband, Joseph Fletcher; sons, Franz Fletcher and Wayne Fletcher; daughter, Judy Fletcher.

A private family service will be held at College View Cemetery.
