Only a moment you stayed, but what an imprint your footprints have left on our hearts.”
-Dorothy Ferguson

On August 23, 2023, our beloved, Melanie D. Wofford, transitioned. We are coming together to celebrate her life and legacy. Melanie’s Memorial Service is on Sunday, September 17th at 3pm. Please RSVP for location. Limited seating is available. Send RSVP email to: [email protected]. RSVP’s will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.

Melanie was loved by many, and she gave love to many. To lessen the burden on Melanie’s son, we are seeking to raise funds to assist with the memorial celebration and other expenses. All remaining funds will go directly to Melanie’s son Jordan Wofford and her grandson Julian.

For donations of $100 or more, the donor will receive a lovely commemorative t-shirt (featuring a beautiful picture of Melanie) honoring her legacy. T-shirts will be mailed to out-of-town donors. Donations may be sent via Zelle to Anissa Williams ([email protected]) -or- CashApp at $Anissayone or phn 4043887664 Thank you for your patience and support.

With heartfelt gratitude,

Melanie’s Support Team
