She was born in Abbeville, Wilcox County and was the daughter of the late Benjamin Fletcher, Sr. and Annie Elizabeth Dougherty Floyd. She retired from her position as a guidance secretary for the Broward County School System in 1989. She never retired, however, from being a homemaker, always caring for and loving her family and anyone else she could, including every animal that she met. She was a member of Eustis First United Methodist Church and active in the Adult Bible Study Class of the church as long as her health permitted. She is survived by two children, Lynn Jones of Eustis, FL and G. Neil DuPree and his wife, Marta of Parkland, FL; and three grandchildren, Sean N. DuPree, Cristina M. DuPree and April J. Daugherty and her husband, Brion. She was to be blessed in June with a great-granddaughter. Mrs. DuPree was preceded in death by her husband, Pleny DuPree; her son-in-law, Ted Jones; brothers, James Dougherty Floyd and Benjamin Fletcher Floyd; and a sister, Betty Glendon.
