She was a faithful member of United Baptist Church where she served in many capacities through the years. Mrs. Melton's passion was her family. She adored her four granddaughters and their families. Nothing would make her face light up more than getting to see her 6 great grandchildren and was looking forward to her seventh great grandchild due in February 2016. She loved to cook and prepare meals for her family and friends. Working in her flower garden, growing vegetables, and canning were some of her favorite activities. She was preceded in death by her husband William Huey Melton, parents Cicero and Lillie Adams, stepmother Dorothy Adams, and sisters Janice Heard and Etha Lee Baten.
