Mrs. Melton was born on March 5, 1933 in Vaiden, MS to the late Lonnie and Bertha Tucker. She was a faithful and devoted follower of Christ and a member of Providence Presbyterian Church. She always had a heart for loving and caring for others in any way she could. She enjoyed many things throughout her lifetime, most of which were working in her garden, cooking in the kitchen, and spending time with her grandchildren. She loved her family, friends, and neighbors but she loved her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ above all and made sure to pass that along to her children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren.

She is preceded in death by her parents; and siblings, Dorothy Tucker Rosamond, Jack Tucker and Margaret Tucker, and infant granddaughter Ashleigh Marie Melton.

Mrs. Melton is survived by her beloved husband of 68 years, William “Bubba” Melton; children, Don Melton (Debbie) of Clinton and Donna Prewitt (Stan) of Madison, 5 grandchildren and 6 great grandchildren.

The family of Mrs. Melton would like to say a special thank you to Home Instead of Clinton and Baptist Hospice for providing their undivided attention, compassionate care, and devoted time to her.

In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Providence Presbyterian Church, 1580 Clinton Raymond Rd, Clinton, MS 39056.

“I'm looking forward to a better home-a perfect home--whose Builder and Maker is God. It will have no flaws, because it is the House of the Lord-and "on no days will its gates ever be shut" (Revelation 21:25, NIV). The day I step through the gates of splendor, I'll finally be free of the

confinements of earth.”

-Reverend Billy Graham
