Melba J. McCall, daughter of the late John W. and Dorothy J. Stroder, was born May 13, 1943, in Burfordville and ended her earthly journey Sunday, June 7, 2020, at the age of 77 at her daughter's home in Jackson.
Before retiring, Melba had been a supervisor at Columbia Sportswear in Chaffee, Missouri.
She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, tending her plants and flower beds and going to yard sales. She loved spoiling her grandbabies while they were little, and then spoiling the great-grandbabies. Melba worked hard and laughed often, knowing life was to be enjoyed.
Melba is survived by her daughters, Debe (Mark) Johnson of Jackson, Darlene (Ron) Howell of Jackson and Shelly (Brian) Menz of West Plains, Missouri; brother, John W. Stroder of Chaffee; 10 grandchildren; and nine great-grandchildren.
She was preceded in death by her parents; daughter, Patricia A. Nanney; sons, Kevin W. and Kyle P. Nanney; and grandson, John-Michael McCall.
Visitation will be today at Amick-Burnett Funeral Chapel in Chaffee. Family visitation will be at 4 p.m. and public visitation at 5 p.m.
