Condolences Left For Melba Mayfield

Grandmother was a strong ,smart, opinionated and very caring heart of her family. A family I married into and am now blessed to call my own. I have many treasured memories especially from her home down at the lake where she always welcomed us. She told many wonderful stories. She will be deeply missed.
