Melinda D. Ball

I had the privilege to meet and work along side Melinda as a volunteer tutor through STAIR at Covington Elementary. I looked up to her not only as an experienced educator and former STAIR Executive Director but also because she was such a kind, approachable person who led by example with a servant's heart. It makes me sad to hear of her passing and I pray that the peace that surpasses all understanding, found in Christ, will comfort the Ball family during this time.

I had the pleasure to know Melinda through tennis and book club. She was such a sweet lady, always soft spoken and sharing kind words. We will miss her. My thoughts and prayers of condolences for your family.

So sad to hear of Malinda’s death. We
were sorority sisters in Norfolk (AKP).
We both were bridesmaids in my college roommate’s (Mary Lou Skeeter) wedding.

My thoughts and prayers are with you, Stuart, and your family. So sorry to hear of Melinda's death. Last week, my husband also passed away. A very sad time for both of us. Betty Poche'
