Rosemary Bissett Fletcher passed on Nov. 10, 2011. She was a life-long supporter of athletics in the district, and bore the nickname "Mrs. West Greene."

She graduated from the former Richhill High School in Wind Ridge in 1949. Rosemary married Robert Loar Fletcher on January 2, 1950 and was a resident of Graysville most of her life.

Rosemary was extremely active in the school district. She was employed as a bus driver for 37 years, retiring in January, 2011. She drove regular routes with our students, as well as hauling the bulk of West Greene's extra-curricular runs most of her career. She also served on the Board of Education 17 years, holding the position of Board Secretary, and being on the Transportation and Athletic Committees.

Rosemary, and family, were very supportive of our wrestling teams over the years. The Fletcher-Bissett Memorial Award has been given annually to the most outstanding varsity wrestler. Rosemary had served as presenter of this award for more than 30 years.

Rosemary was a true philanthropist when it came to "her kids." No team, or athlete ever went without a meal or drink while she drove. Supporting West Greene student-athletes was a lifetime commitment for her.
