Lois Melton
Services for Lois E. Melton, 86, of Keene will be conducted at 11:30 a.m. Sunday, July 29, 2012, in the Crosier-Pearson Cleburne Chapel. Pastor Martin Read will officiate, with a life sketch presented by Dwight Vincent. Burial will be in the Keene Memorial Park. Visitation will be held from 6-8 p.m. Saturday at the funeral home.
Lois passed away peacefully Friday, July 20, 2012, in Fort Worth with family by her side. Lois was born Dec. 12, 1925, in Bucyrus, Ohio, to Gerald and Florence McKnight Walterhouse. She married Clyde Carlton Melton Dec. 2, 1945, in Bucyrus. She was a longtime member of Joshua Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Lois spent hours doing embroidery, sewing and quilting. She enjoyed bird watching, board games, puzzles and Wheel of Fortune. Lois loved to cook and was renowned for her fresh baked breads and desserts. Her biggest passion was reading and story time with her grandchildren. To say her mind was sharp was an understatement, she could recall dates, places and events and relay them in such detail that you that you too would be transported back to relive the event.
Lois is survived by one son, Jimmy Melton and wife, Penny; granddaughter, Taylor Melton; grandsons, Kyle Parker and Josh Crownover and wife, Jenni; great-grandchildren, Casta, Natalee, Jolie and Sarah Crownover; brothers, Donald Walterhouse of Woodbury, Tenn., Ronnie Parcel and wife, Rhonda, of Miamisburg, Ohio, and Wayne Walterhouse and wife, Betty; sisters, Janet Staton and Marie Langlois, all of Bucyrus, Ohio; and numerous nieces and nephews and very dear friends.
She was preceded in death by her parents; a loving husband of 65 years, Clyde Melton; and her daughter, Jolene Marie Crownover.
