Fletcher, and two sons, John & Maria Fletcher of Mt. Pleasant, SC and Jeff & Kate Fletcher, Pittsburgh, PA. She is also survived by her grandchildren, Lucas, Alison, Megan & Tyler, to whom she will always be "Mimi."

Izzo. Friends will be received Monday from 2-4 & 6-8 PM in the Hill & Kunselman Funeral Home, www.hillandkunselman.com, 3801-4th Avenue, Beaver Falls, PA 15010.
