Eleanor Mayo Fletcher

On my way to Juno Marinelife center with hatchlings this am I looked up and saw a rainbow and thought about the joy that Eleanor always had in her eyes when it came to sea turtles, miss
You xo

She was a great lady. I remember her from my childhood. She'd be out walking the beach early in the morning, looking for stranded hatchlings. Us kids, would helper pick up hatchlings out of the hotel parking lots. God bless and my condolences to her family.

rest in peace and keep those turtles safe up there also, sonny hare,palm beach,fla.

Without Miss Fletcher in this area we never would have had the Sea Turtles protected and the Turte Museum--God Bless her

I moved to West Palm when I was 15 in 1980. I met Miss Eleanor walking on the beach, she told me they call her the turtle lady. She was kind and fearless. She educated me not only about sea turtles & the ocean, but about life. Because of her I have the passion to teach children (young & old) what she brought to my life. God truly blessed us with her presence on this earth for all these years.

What a wonderful woman, she contributed so much to her community and taught them so much. I consider her as a role model and hope to be able to help keep sea turtle research and love alive. Thank you for helping to preserve such a treasure for future generations.

I'm sorry I didn't know about her passing sooner, I worked at the waterford, I made her a turtle door hanger. I missed being with her
when I quit Waterford, because you are never aloud on the property
again. I love Turtles, and I collect anything turtle, I just loved all her
Turtle stories. Thankyou Elenor, Emma Kerr Namit, Palm Beach Gardens, Florida [email protected]

I had the privilege of working with Mrs. Fletcher when she first set up her museum at an abandoned motel just across the street from the beach. I learned so much about sea turtles from her and developed a deep appreciation for the sea. She was a big mentor and a wonderful friend. I will miss her!

What a loss for the community.When I first arived in Fla in 1980 I began going on "turtle walks"and that is when I first met Eleanor.I was educated and entertained,she allowed me to take photos which I treasure to this day.There was one female in particular who had only three flippers yet every season still came home to nest.Thank you for all the lives that are richer for your dedication and caring.You will be missed but never forgotten.Condolences to the family and God Bless
