Twilla Ellen Fletchall went to be with the Lord October 23, 2012 at her apartment in Westminister, CO after a brief illness.
She was born Febrary 7, 1932 on a farm east of Allendale to Orville and Loda (Maudlin) Fletchall. Her mother died in a house fire with Twilla was seven weeks old. Her father was badly burned getting Loda (27 years old), son Verdon (4), and baby Twilla out of the house.
Twilla's grandmother, Frances (Combs) Maudlin, who she always called Mama, raised her. Most of her young life was spent in Worth and Harrison Counties. She graduated from Hatfield High School in 1949. After graduation, she moved with her grandmother to Odessa, TX to be near her aunts, Leona and John Faustlin and Zelphia and Melvin Brantley. In Odessa, she worked for Bell Telephone Company. Sometime later, she went into full-time Christian Ministry and became a youth director for a non-denominational church. She transferred to Denver as a youth director and later church secretary until failing health brought retirement. Twilla has devoted her life to serving her Lord and Savior.
Twilla was preceded in death by her parents, grandparents Frank and Frances (Mama) Maudlin, Michael and Rebecca Fletchall, brother Verdon Fletchall, step-mother Mary Campbell Fletchall, half-brothers Mervin and Danny Fletchall, half-sister Sue Fletchall Burk, and step-brother Eldon Campbell.
