Independent spirit pursued all interests
By Nicole VISSCHEDYK,
Special To
Sun
Media, Sun., March 2, 2008
Born in London in 1919, Frances
FLETCHER personified the free
spirit of feminism long before that word had entered most vocabularies.
During the Second World War, she moved alone to Ottawa to work
as a censor for the federal government.
At 21, newly married, she screened outgoing letters from German
prisoners of war in Canada to ensure state secrets weren't leaked
to the enemy.
FLETCHER never stopped learning and instilled her love of education
in all she met.
When her husband died 25 years ago, her independent nature served
her well. She travelled extensively alone, often combining formal
study.
"She studied Jane Austen in Britain and she studied on the reserves
in South Africa," said her daughter, Frances-Jane
FLETCHER of
London.
"If she wanted to do something, she went and did it."
FLETCHER died February 15 at 89.
She graduated from the University of Western Ontario in 1940
with an honours degree in French and German.
"She came back for every reunion," said her daughter.
In 1953, FLETCHER turned to her daughter and said, "I'm tired
of living someone else's life. I want to live my own."
That year, since public schools didn't yet offer early childhood
education, she started a kindergarten class out of her basement.
Soon, she and her young family moved to Burlington for her husband's
job. She led the languages department at Aldershot high school
for more than two decades.
"She was the kind of person who encouraged others to follow their
talents," said her granddaughter, Katherine
FLETCHER of London.
Frances FLETCHER's sister, Elsinore
DIGGORY of Kitchener, said
Frances was a happy and popular child.
Her last home was in Grand Bend where she kept a busy schedule.
Her optimistic and outgoing personality helped her to earn a
certificate of merit for volunteer work with the chamber of commerce.
Her job as a tourism liaison officer brought her in contact with
people worldwide. She relished meeting new Friends and learning
about their lives, said her daughter.
FLETCHER is survived by her sister, three children and many grandchildren.
