Vineese Melton Albert

1936 - 2025

Vineese Melton Albert was born on March 21, 1936, in Lessie, Florida, to Joseph and Marie Melton. She was the eldest child of their union. From an early age, Vineese displayed multiple talents, most notably her gift as a renowned seamstress and her deep passion for caregiving.
She was educated in the Nassau County Public School System and went on to pursue higher learning, completing two years of study at Florida Memorial College in St. Augustine, Florida. Vineese worked faithfully for many years and later retired from both Terminal Bag and Paper Company in Yulee, Florida, and from the Nassau County Sherriffs Department as a School Crossing Guard.
Vineese accepted Christ at a young age at Mount Horeb Baptist Church in Lessie, Florida. In later years, she united with her husband at Prince Chapel AME Church. Following her husbands passing, she joined and faithfully served at First Missionary Baptist Church under the leadership of her beloved pastor, Dr. Reverend Darien K. Bolden Sr., whom she cherished greatly.
Late Thursday afternoon, September 25, 2025, the Lord called Vineese to her eternal home, where she now rests in His everlasting peace.
