Jessie Rodgers Fletcher was born in Philadelphia, U.S. Her father taught him to love God and be kind to others. She volunteered for overseas service at the church she attended at the time, but she volunteered as a Korean missionary.

In 1912, Jessie was designated sent to serve in Andong after the missionary headquarters of the Northern Presbyterian U.S.A. visited Korea at the request of Korean evangelization. Later, she met Archibald Gray Fletcher, a missionary, and got married and came to Daegu.

According to a report by the Baby Welfare Clinic at Dongsan Christian Hospital in 1930, Jessie helped nurse Lee Young-soon with missionary Susan Adams to provide constant support for the Baby Welfare Clinic and helped with major tasks.

Infant mothers visiting Baby Welfare Clinic were asked to read pamphlets and evangelists, and when children from poor families came, all or part of the milk was distributed free of charge. In May 1939, the World Children's Week celebration was held at Daegu Provincial Hospital, and she was selected as one of the two of the best children and participated in the National Best Child Contest in Seoul.

After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in the U.S. in 1941, Jessie and Fletcher had to stay under house arrest, leaving the work of the Baby Welfare Clinic to nurse Lee Young-soon.

Eventually, in June 1942, the Fletcher couple and their children took a boat from Busan, went through Japan, passed through various countries, and returned to the United States. After liberation in 1946, she returned to Korea with her husband for a while, but she was never able to visit Korea again due to the outbreak of the Korean War while the couple was on vacation in the U.S.

Jessie helped her husband Fletcher's missionary work for the rest of his life and was called by God in 1971 at the age of 87.
