Melissa is also survived by her husband of 38 years, David Russell Bray; her sons, Matthew Bray (Sylvie) of Taylors, SC and Tyler Russell Bray of Piedmont, SC; her grandchildren, Charlie and Maddie Bray; her brothers, Walter Young, Jr., of Emerald Isle, NC and Brian Young (Zanetta) of Clemmons, NC; and her four legged Boxer, Luna Ali.
A Memorial Service will be held 3:00 p.m. Thursday, September 9, 2021, at Floyd's Boiling Springs Chapel, 4161 Highway 9 North, Boiling Springs, SC 29316, conducted by the Rev. Dr. Michael Hoyt. The family will receive friends following the service.
