Madalyn Fletcher

MENDON, UTAH: Our sweet little angel, Madalyn returned to the loving arms of her Heavenly Father on Tuesday, July 14th, 2009 after a year long battle with cancer. Madalyn was born January 8, 2007 to Terrell and Trishelle Fletcher. Madalyn touched many lives in her short 2 ½ years here on earth and captured the hearts of her parents, brothers, relatives and many doctors and nurses at Primary Children’s Medical Center, the Huntsman Cancer Institute and Community Nursing Services. Madalyn taught us how to face adversity with courage and bravery and she did it with grace and a smile. She was mature beyond her years and would help the doctors and nurses administer her medications, draw her blood, and assess her vital signs. When finished, she would blow them a kiss and wave as they left the room.

Madalyn was a beautiful, strong-willed, intelligent little girl who loved to laugh and was always anxious to please. She enjoyed giving “head bonks” to Aunt Karleen, “meowing” like a kitten, giving her brothers “knuckles,” cuddling with her mom and dancing with her dad. Her favorite game was to throw something (preferably breakable) off the bed and have someone scramble after it. When she would hear it hit the floor, she would laugh and want to do it again.

Oh Madalyn, how we will miss your sweet smile, your contagious laugh, and your arms around us. You have taught all who knew you so much and we are better people because of you. You will be so greatly missed.

Madalyn is survived by her parents; Terrell and Trishelle, her five brothers; Ryley, Liam, Wyatt, Samuel, and Eli, and grandparents; Rick and Sandy Reed, Bill and Kathy Fletcher, Margaret White, and Robert Brough, along with many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.

The Fletcher Family would like to express a special thank you to Dr. Jack Walker and Dr. Carol Bruggers at Primary Children’s Hospital for their endless efforts in Madalyn’s behalf and for the genuine love and concern they gave her.
