Melrose Trimble

August 7, 2006

Our dear friend, Classics club member, and a partner in the formation of the Tulsa Lunch Bunch has passed. Melrose Trimble went to be with her Lord last night around 2AM. I'm sure Glyn will appreciate your cards, letters, and words of encouragment.

A Graveside Service will be held Wednesday, August 9, at 11AM at Floral Haven Memorial Gardens, East 71st and 129th in Broken Arrow. The Memorial Service will be held Wednesday, August 9, at 2PM at Eastwood Baptist Church, East 11th and 91st E Ave in Tulsa.

In lieu of flowers, Melrose would like memorials to be sent to American Cancer Society or Eastwood Baptist Church Library , 949 So 91st E Ave, Tulsa OK 74112. She was librarian over 30 years.

We will greatly miss Melrose' beautiful smile and outgoing personality.
