Melba Yvonne (Parker) Hamilton

Melba Yvonne Parker Hamilton, 83, went home to be with the Lord on Tuesday, March 15, 2021 at her home in Nesbit, MS. She was born on June 25, 1938 to the Late Hosie and Birtie Parker in Tunica, MS. Yvonne loved gardening, and flowers. On Sunny days, she would be found attending to her flowers. But most evident was her love and dedication to her husband, children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren. There was nothing more important to her. She was the center of her family’s world. Yvonne was preceded in death by her loving husband of 64 years, Lawrence Hamilton; her son, Mike Hamilton; parents, Hosie and Birtie Parker; three sisters, Jeanette Bonds, Gloria Baughman, Laura Stevenson, and two brothers, Miles Parker and Kenneth Parker. She is survived by her daughter, Donna Hamilton Bussey (Johnny) and her brother, Larry Parker (Geraldine). Yvonne also leaves behind two grandchildren, Jeremy Bussey, Ashley Bussey (Logan Freeman), and four great grandchildren, Jayden Bussey, Charlee Bussey, Maizie Bussey, Georgia Freeman, and a host of nieces and nephews. In lieu of flowers the family request that memorial contributions be made to St. Jude Children’s Hospital. A funeral service will be held on Saturday, March 19, 2022 at 2:00 pm with visitation beginning at 1:00 pm at Brantley Funeral Home, 6875 Cockrum St. Olive Branch, MS 38654.
