Melba Ilene Fenley

Graveside services for Melba Ilene Fenley, 72, of Pollok will be held Monday, August 28, 2023 at 9:30 a.m. at Gann Cemetery with Brother Keith Bickley officiating.

Ms. Fenley was born May 18, 1951 in Pollok, Texas to the late Ruby Mae (Hope) and M.M. “Buster” Fenley, and died Tuesday, August 22, 2023 at her residence. She graduated from Central High School in 1969 and retired from the Angelina County Tax Office after 16 years of employment. Ms. Fenley attended O’Quinn Baptist Church and Clawson Assembly of God.

Melba was the most giving individual. Her kind energy was felt in every room she would walk into. She had a way with animals, every pet she had was loved by her immensely. Melba gave unconditional love to those in her life. Her essence was love, and her spirit was gentle.
