Melissa A. Eatherly

She was born August 14, 1949, in Jackson, Mississippi, a daughter of the late Paul V. “Bill” Eatherly and Jack Noblin Eatherly.

Ms. Eatherly dedicated 34 years of service as an administrative assistant with the Federal Bureau of Investigation, where she was known for her professionalism, reliability, and quiet strength.

As a faithful member of Galloway United Methodist Church, she found great joy in her church community and gave generously of her time as a volunteer. Her faith was an important part of her life, guiding her kindness, compassion, and commitment to others.

Ms. Eatherly was greatly loved and will be greatly missed; remembered for her dedication, her servant’s heart, and the steady presence she brought to those around her.

She is survived by brothers, Billy Jack Eatherly, and Michael Claude Eatherly; nieces, Patricia A. Doran, and Debbie Accomazzo; great-nieces, Mia Accomazzo, and Keely Jack Doran; and great-nephews, Devon Eatherly, Karch Doran, and Kade Doran.

Memorials may be made to Galloway United Methodist Church in Jackson.
