Melinda loved to go fishing but most of all she loved to spend time with her grandchildren. They were her life and heart. She loved to help anyone in need. She had the biggest heart. It was full of kindness, compassion and love. She was a loving mother, grandmother, sister, aunt but most of all she was a good friend. In time of despair and distress she knew faith would get her through.
Thanks to St. Joseph Hospice Bayou Region for their care and compassion.
In lieu of flowers the family request donations to American Cancer Society in Melinda’s name.
