Service today for Melba Ruth Price Loftis

Melba Ruth Price Loftis was born on August 21, 1935 in Wetumka, Oklahoma, to Ernest and Beatrice (Brooks) Price, and passed from this life to her heavenly reward on November 2, 2022.

When Melba was eight, her only sibling, Mildred, was born. Around the age of ten, Melba gave her heart to Jesus, and lived for him the rest of her life. At age thirteen, she started sitting next to a boy named Robert at church. He would be the only boy she ever dated.
