A Memorial Service for Sue Carrie Melvin, 72, of Enid, will be at a later date in the Jerome Methodist Church in Jerome, Michigan.  Burial will be in the Somerset Center Cemetery.  Cremation arrangements are by Anderson-Burris Funeral Home.   There will be no viewing at the funeral home.

      Sue Carrie Melvin, loving wife, mother, grandmother and sister, was born to John Rennels and Sarah Babet (Vincent) McClain on Oct. 4, 1936, in Bird Lake, Michigan, and went home to be with her Lord on Friday, Dec. 12, 2008, at St. Mary’s Regional Medical Center in Enid, OK.

    Sue grew up in Jerome and attended North Adams High School.   She moved to sunny California, where she met the love of her life, William Melvin.  In 1962, she married William D. Melvin in Spring Valley, California.  Sue was a homemaker and enjoyed spending precious time with her family and grandchildren.    Even though she was so far away from her parents and siblings, they were always close to her heart.  When her daughter and son-in-law decided to move to Enid, she soon followed in 1997.  There was no keeping her away from her grandchildren.

     She is survived by one daughter, Tina Rodriguez and husband Ramiro of Enid; three grandchildren, Candice  Rose Chavez, Christian Michael Rodriguez, and Ciara Alexis Rodriguez; and one great grandchild, Natalia Rose Chavez, all of Enid;  four brothers, Tom, Johnny, Ronnie and Terry McClain; and three sisters, Dorothy Thomas, Barbara Griffin, and Claribel Cook.

    Sue was preceded in death by her husband William D. Melvin and one sister Mary Jane Hansen.
