Melba Wilson, born on August 7, 1940, in Fort Worth, Texas, passed away peacefully in her hometown on November 7, 2025, at the age of 85. A beloved member of the Fort Worth community, Melba's life was characterized by her deep love for her family, her passion for arts and crafts, and her enjoyment of fishing.
Melba cherished family gatherings, which brought her immense joy and allowed her to share her warmth and laughter with those she held dear. Her creativity was reflected in her artistic pursuits, where she expressed herself through various crafts, bringing beauty to the lives of those around her. Melba also found tranquility in the peacefulness of fishing, embracing nature and the moments of reflection it provided.
Her departure leaves a significant void in the hearts of her family and friends, who will remember her as a spirited and loving individual. As we reflect on her life, we celebrate the memories forged and the love she nurtured.
