Lori K. Fletcher

Aug. 14, 1957 - Oct. 20, 2026

RUPERT – With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Lori Fletcher, on Tuesday, October 20, 2026, following a short battle with cancer. After a lifetime of hard work and dedication, Lori was looking forward to enjoying retirement with her husband and family. Sadly, those years were cut far too short.

Rupert, Idaho, was Lori’s longtime home, where she built a life centered on family, hard work, and service to others. She shared 50 years of marriage with her beloved husband, James Fletcher. Together, they raised three children, Cory Fletcher, Eric Fletcher, and Jamilee Coles and were blessed with ten grandchildren. Lori was strong, independent, hardworking, and fiercely protective of those she loved. She was never afraid to speak her mind or stand her ground, and her grandchildren always knew that life jackets were mandatory near the water. Their safety came first.

Lori was a natural leader and a trailblazer for women in factory work, working her way into upper management. While building her career, she attended night school to earn her bachelor’s degree. She later took night classes in American Sign Language so she could communicate with her two deaf children, a reflection of her determination and deep love for her family.

Her caring spirit extended into her community. Lori volunteered with Civil Air Patrol training and search-and-rescue dogs, later participating in pet therapy visits to hospitals, nursing homes, and youth centers. She also volunteered at the theater in Mesquite, always finding ways to give her time and help others.

Lori loved horses and dogs, traveling, and creating art. She enjoyed a good book and a glass of wine, but one of her favorite places was home on the river. She loved kayaking, riding the pontoon boat, and watching the eagles at their nest. She especially enjoyed
welcoming family and friends to her home, which she proudly called the “Fletcher Resort.” It was a gathering place filled with laughter, good times, and memories that her family will treasure for years to come.

Lori will be remembered for her strength, independent spirit, artistic talent, generosity, and unwavering love for her family. Though she deserved more time with James, her children, and grandchildren, the lessons she taught and the memories she created will live on.

No formal service is planned at this time. A Celebration of Life will be scheduled for summer of 2027 at the Fletcher Resort. Details will be shared once arrangements have been finalized.

She was deeply loved, will be profoundly missed, and will never be forgotten.

Arrangements have been entrusted to the care of Hansen Mortuary of Rupert.

From April Nelson:

I once broke a glass cup at the Fletcher Resort. I was so worried that it was special and Lori would be upset. When I told her of my accident, she joked with me- no more glasses for me, only plastic cups! So funny, so sweet. I only met her a few times, each time she made me feel special and welcomed to her home. So blessed to know her. My deepest sorrow and condolences to her family and all those who knew her.

From Cheston Farley:

Lori was a mentor, a friend, and in many ways, like a second mother to me. We worked together for about six years at McCain Foods, where we shared a common goal of making a difference in people’s lives. During those years, we shared plenty of frustrations and just as many laughs. We went through a lot together as we helped navigate and pioneer changes in the workplace. Those experiences created a bond that I will always cherish. From the things Lori shared with me about her life, it was clear that she was a wonderful wife and mother, and that her family meant so much to her. I am deeply sorry for your loss. I have lost a dear friend, a mentor, and someone who made a lasting difference in my life. I will always remember Lori with gratitude, affection and respect. I am thankful our paths crossed, and I will always appreciate the part she played in my life. My thoughts and heartfelt condolences are with her family during this difficult time.
