Melvena Whitham Obituary
Mel was an avid scrabble player, teddy bear collector, cookie baker, and dedicated Days of Our Lives fan. She will be remembered for her sassy spirit, sarcasm, and loving nature.

She leaves behind a hole in the hearts of all who knew and loved her and will be greatly missed.
