HEYBURN – Melanie Kay Fletcher passed away Saturday, December 28, 2024, at her home in Heyburn, at the age of 66.

She was born September 20, 1958, in Burley, Idaho, the youngest child of Lew and Derlene Humphreys. Melanie attended grade school in Rupert and graduated from Burley High School in 1976.

Melanie worked at Klink’s Florist before working alongside Wes with their furniture business, W and M Woodworks. Melanie assisted Wes in building furniture, making deliveries and phone calls and keeping up with the business’s bookwork.

Melanie enjoyed spending time with her friends and family. She loved to go camping and RZR riding during the summer. Melanie also helped Wes in building a house in Arizona and greatly enjoyed spending the winter months there. Melanie loved being social and sharing laughs with those around her.
