Melba and her late husband traveled from state to state for the first few years of their marriage. They landed in La Marque, TX and lived there most of their married life. Melba and Billy lived for a short period of time in Porsgrunn, Norway and New Orleans, LA but always returned to their home in La Marque.

Melba was a loving wife and mother who believed in the Lord. She was a devout Christian and she put her faith into practice throughout her life. She worked with the coordination of her home church Highlands Baptist Church, La Marque, TX to develop a nursing home ministry, in which she went weekly to several facilities in the area to provide the residents with warm conversation and fresh fruit. She also was a firm believer in the power of prayer. She prayed daily for her family and our country. She will be missed but the family looks forward to a joyful reunion someday.
