Melba was born on January 22, 1922 in Sibley, LA. After graduating from

Highland Hospital. Not long after graduating from nursing school, she joined 
the United States Army. She left for war as an army nurse on the Queen Mary 
and returned on the USS Argentina when the war ended. She continued to work as 
a nurse in both Houston and New Orleans before settling in West Monroe, LA and 
taking on a job at Glenwood Hospital as an OB nurse and would later become 
assistant director of nurses for 30 plus years. She was loved and respected by 
many. She passed peacefully at home surrounded by her loved ones after 
battling dementia. Melba was preceded in death by her husband Walter Dickey 
Krouskup; mother, Lucille Holstead Davis, father, John Almer Davis; brothers, 
Paul and Billy Davis; sister, Marjorie Davis Blake and husband Louis Blake;
