Memphis heiress Eliza Fletcher will be Laid To Rest At Church where she met and married her husband - and is Remembered by her fellow congregants as Someone who 'truly walked and modeled the Christian life'

  • On Saturday her funeral will be held at Second Presbyterian Church at 10:00am - the church where she met and married her husband, Richard
Eliza Fletcher's funeral will be held on Saturday, her family have announced - at the Memphis church where she met and married her husband.

The 34-year-old beloved kindergarten teacher was kidnapped and murdered last week - abducted as she went on her usual 4:30am run through Memphis. A 38-year-old career criminal who served 20 years in prison for kidnapping, Cleotha Abston, has been charged with her murder.

On Thursday the family confirmed the details of her funeral, which will be held at 10am at Second Presbyterian Church.

Fletcher met her husband Richard at the church, and the pair were married there in March 2014.

Fletcher pictured with her husband Richie and their two children. The family described her as a 'special' woman who was taken away from them in a 'senseless' manner

The pair became parents to what her obituary described as 'two rambunctious, joyful boys Richard James Fletcher IV and Harry Wellford Fletcher.'

The obituary stated: 'She loved her family fiercely and unconditionally. Together as a family, they enjoyed outdoor adventures including boating, water sports, hiking, running, and biking. She was deeply admired by her family and friends for her passionate dedication to motherhood.'

The family also praised her strong faith.

'She truly walked and modeled the Christian life and trusted in her unwavering faith,' they wrote.

Not to be that person, but the national attention that Memphis is getting right now is probably a good thing in that people in Shelby County are going to have to address it.. since crime happens there all of the time, I bet it will stay in the forefront for a minute (It is truly awful and horrible that all of these attacks have happened.. but Memphis could be a precursor of what is to come in most major cities if something is not done).. and it doesn’t require a gun to commit an assault or murder (and if there was one involved, it was no doubt illegally acquired).. I know I had to clear background to get mine..

Nothing is going to change. Memphis used to be on First 48 until the city council decided they were appearing on way too many episodes and it was making them look bad. They didn't want to fix it, they wanted it to not be so public.

Well, it’s public now! Nothing they can do about it now…You are right, though, when my parents lived there in the 70s my mom would get a police escort to her car at night from the building she worked in.. and my grandmother avoided downtown Memphis like the plague

Thankfully they appear to have captured this moron. The news is reporting he already had an active warrant for first degree murder and has been on the streets. Multiple carjackings and people have been shot in 5 or 6 areas of town including midtown and Southaven. Some of you have tried to convince people that there’s no issue letting people run around Memphis at night by themselves. Care to discuss it again? It didn’t take 24 hours to disprove that crazy notion.

Sure, the issue is not whether it's safe or wise. The issue is thinking someone has the right to tell another adult what they can or cannot do.

When I was a kid I remember a new girl in our class was from Memphis. She would tell us that grocery stores had armed guards that would walk you to your car. We never believed her.

And you know the liberal media isn't going to press it. They want to foster the narrative that gun violence is a national problem not a big liberal, Democrat city problem.

An Uncomfortable Truth: Does the Rise of Antidepressants and SSRIs Fuel Mass Shootings?

https://www.realclearpolitics.com/v...prised_young_american_men_are_going_nuts.html

Prozac maker's secret payment in mass shooting lawsuit revealed

Too much money in big pharma and the market of anti-depressants to throw Prozac and Zoloft under the bus. Both products have exceeded in the billions. But you read what you need to "verify" or dismiss.

For my reading reference. Thanks

I wouldn’t dream of telling you or anyone outside my household what to do. You do you. (Guessing you’ve never spent much time here though. Not 45 years like I have.) The good news is my wife was born here and knows what has happened to the city so she is very careful in where she goes and when. Past that, I can only suggest that people be careful or you’ll end up a statistic.
