Marla Kay Fink Wessner (Marilyn Marlene Fletcher), born October 23, 1955, left this life on Friday, October 30, 2026, at home with her daughter, Mishell Fink Brewer in Waynesboro, TN after a long battle with multiple health issues.

She is survived by two children, Frankie (Lisa) Fink, Independence, Iowa, and Mishell Fink Brewer, Waynesboro, Tennessee; and one bonus son, Shane Fink, Milan, Tennessee; two sisters, Toodie (Bill) Hunt of Vinton, Iowa and Tia Williams (Rodney) Shaffer, Arlington, Iowa; one brother; 11 grandchildren: Trey Fink, Hailey Brewer, Donaven Brewer, Jasmine Fink, Keisha Fink, Austin Fink, Harley Fink, Levi Fink, Wayne Fink, Liberty Fink; 9 great-grandchildren; and many special nephews, nieces, and cousins.

She is preceded in death by her parents, Marlan and Grace Anna (Holthaus) Fletcher; 2 sisters, Cheryll Ann (Evans) Williams and “Marti" (Maretta) Koch; and 1 brother, David (Marlan) Fletcher.

Marla was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa and resided there through Jr. High before moving to Strawberry Point, Iowa and becoming a farmer's daughter milking cows. She lived in a few places throughout her life after leaving home: Hazelton, Quasqueton, Oelwein, Aurora Colorado, and Independence Iowa, where she would retire from Tyson Foods. Upon retiring she took many travels from Iowa to Tennessee to visit her daughter and family, eventually residing in Tennessee for the last years of her life. It was in Tennessee where she chose to be water baptized and give her life to Jesus to make Heaven her eternal home.

Marla had a heart of gold and would do whatever she could for others, often leaving herself without. She will be greatly missed by her family and all those who knew her and loved her.

A celebration of life will be held in Quasqueton, Iowa on Saturday, November 28 from 11AM-2PM at the American Legion Hall. 106 Water St S, Quasqueton, IA 52326.
