Melissa enjoyed holding hands and dancing with Earl, walking in the rain, friends and classmates, traveling, painting, horseback riding, donkeys, golfing, her two lab dogs Nellie and Lucy, her cat Stubby. Melissa enjoyed life! She was a good cook, house cleaner, caring, giving, outgoing, conversationalist. She never met a stranger.  

Melissa was thankful for the tender relationship she and Earl enjoyed. She considered her daughter Jackie and Rick as the best gifts God could ever give. Her grandchildren warmed her heart. 

Melissa was employed with Robinson Reality and Serve Link where she loved the people under her care. She was baptized in the Christian Church of Trenton and later moved her membership to Dockery Chapel Church which she dearly loved.

Earl called her a sweetheart. We knew her as sweet Melissa.
