The tight-knit community of White River Junction is reeling after the heartbreaking loss of Jamie Fletcher, a woman remembered not only as a devoted mother and trusted friend, but also as a vibrant and ambitious force whose spirit left a lasting mark on everyone she encountered.
To those who knew Jamie best, she was “a real one”—a confidant who could be trusted with both joys and sorrows, a loyal friend whose compassion ran deep, and a fiercely loving mother who was endlessly proud of her daughter, Ava.
Jamie’s presence in White River Junction was undeniable. She was a familiar face in town—whether working at the beloved candy shop she named after Ava, serving drinks with firecracker charm at the Filling Station, or sharing her vision for the tea room she dreamed of building downtown. Her excitement was infectious; her passion, unmistakable. She poured herself fully into her work, her dreams, and her relationships, leaving an impression that will not fade with time.
Those who crossed paths with Jamie quickly learned she was so much more than her role in food service. She was a hustler, an entrepreneur, a risk-taker, and a confidant. She loved the details, loved the adventure, and loved the challenge of chasing her ambitions. Jamie never shied away from the hard work, and she never dimmed her bright, bold energy.
Friends describe her as a “firehose of energy”—driven, ambitious, sometimes scrappy, always striving for more, and deeply loyal to those she loved. Beneath her fearless determination was a woman of warmth, brilliance, and kindness—someone who made others feel seen, welcomed, and supported.
But above all else, Jamie was most proud of her role as a mother. Her love for Ava was unwavering and fierce, guiding everything she did and fueling her hopes for the future.
In life, Jamie was both ambitious and shameless, chasing dreams with courage and living with an authenticity that inspired those around her. In her passing, she leaves behind a legacy of love, resilience, and joy.
Jamie Fletcher was loved broadly and deeply—and she loved in return. Her absence will be felt throughout White River Junction and beyond, but her memory will continue to shine in the laughter she sparked, the dreams she pursued, and the daughter she cherished.
Rest in peace, Jamie. Your light will be missed, but never forgotten.
