COLVIN, MELBA ELFER 
(October 15, 1914 - June 24, 2013)

Melba Colvin, 98, of Mandeville, Louisiana, passed away June 24, 2013, 
surrounded in the love of family and friends.

She was born on Thursday, October 15, 1914, in Saint Rose, Louisiana, to the 
late Charles Maurice Elfer and Emma Weaver Elfer.

Loving wife of the late Samuel Harvey Colvin, Jr., she is survived by her sons, 
John Colvin of Albuquerque and Thomas Colvin of Mandeville, John's wife Karen 
Halliday, John's son Kennon Colvin and his wife Chamisa Colvin of Colorado 
Springs, Karen Halliday's sons, Colin and Timothy Halliday Sillerud of 
Albuquerque, and Kennon and Chamisa Colvin's children, Grey and Aidan Colvin of 
Colorado Springs.

She was a leader in preserving local history and environment, and a significant 
pioneer for aid to the handicapped. Warmly gracious and a great appreciator of 
the arts, she was truly a great lady, now much missed, but forever held close 
in the hearts of those who loved her.
