Melba Fern Kerley

Melba was a wonderful friend. I enjoyed doing her hair. I will always treasure knowing her and sharing her friendship.

Pat, my prayers are with you and your family. It has been many years since I last saw your mother, but I do remember knocking on your parents front door every night many summers back asking her if you could play basketball. Never let your memories fade.

What a lovely lady she was. Both of our children were fortunate enough to know and love her when they attended Johnson Elementary School here in The Oaks. Her love for children was real and they knew it and loved her in return. Many were blessed in this community by Melba and her memory will live on with each for many years to come. Whatever the task she did her best and inspired you to do likewise. May her sweet life of service to others comfort her family as they mourn her passing.

Melba will be missed by many in Bryan. I enjoyed art trips with her over the years. Her children were a joy to teach. You were a reflection
of the wonderful home provided by both your parents. May God help you to remember only the happy times.

Mrs. Kerley was a wonderful first grade teacher (1961). I remember her very well and still think of her everytime I drive by her house.
