A time to be born... Mrs. Louella “Doll” Melson-Young began her earthly journey on April 6, 1962 by joining her parents Mrs. Frances Mitchell Melson and Mr. M.T. Melson.

She was employed for 13 years by Don Juan Kia of Lagrange, Georgia as a Machine Operator and was well liked by her fellow employees. Although “Doll” bore no children of her own, she loved every child she met with the love, nurturing and care of a mother and with the love of Christ.

    I remember Doll, cause she would always say I was her daughter. She would just stare at me and hold my hand. She had the prettiest smile and warm spirit about her. I never knew she had a impairment, this is how humble she was around me. She will be missed dearly. Love ya. TgR
