On August 16, 1955, Melba married the love of her life, Frontz, and together they shared 48 years of marriage. The joy of her life was her three children, Iris, Trudy, and Ira. In quieter moments, she found steady comfort in reading, a simple pleasure that reflected her thoughtful spirit.
Melba is survived by her daughters Iris Melancon and Trudy (Dan) Tabor; three granddaughters; three great grandchildren; and one great-great granddaughter.
Melba was preceded in death by her beloved husband Frontz Green; her parents Herman and Thelma Woods; her son Ira Green; and her three sisters and two brothers.
In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to Bethel Baptist Church.
