Mel, also known as Aunt Lissa, loved her Lord and Savior and was a member of Lifeway Church of Princeton. She was highly talented and there just wasn't anything that Mel could not do.

Mel was preceded in death by her grandparents: Donald Ray Fenter and Granny Earlene, and W.L. & Norma Damron.
There will be a family led memorial service at 2:00 pm on Sunday, April 21, 2024 at the Greenville Elks Lodge 703. Melissa has requested that everyone, instead of wearing black, wear purple to her memorial.
