Born on June 21, 1930 in Sledge, Mississippi, to George Bly and Susie Smith Stamey, her life was a tapestry of dedication, creativity, and love, woven with the rich threads of family and community service.

Her involvement with the Friends of the Library- Myrtle further exemplified her commitment to spreading knowledge and joy throughout her community.

After her retirement, Fleurette unleashed her creativity and handy nature as she meticulously crafted quilts, baby quilts, and Christmas Tree skirts. Her loving hands created countless Christmas stockings, and beautiful baby dresses for family and friends, each stitch a testament to her boundless love and caring heart.
