Mellye Pearl Densman Darden stepped into the arms of her Savior on Thursday, June 29. Mellye was born in Kilgore, Texas and had spent the last 65 years in Longview, Texas but when asked would always answer she was from Kilgore, TX Read Obituary
The last time I visited with Mellye was in the foyer of East Mountain Baptist Church. She had her little push cart in front of her. I was sitting in my power chair. Mellye looked at me for a moment and began smiling. "With all of this rolling power, we should go on a cruise. No one would get in our way." I said, "Mellye, you lead and I'll follow." Smiling brightly, she turned toward the class room and said: "Come on. Let's go." I'm going to miss her. Earlene Wetherbee
I met Mellye in 1993 when she hired me as a new Real Estate Agent and thanks to Mellye Darden I am still enjoying Real Estate today. As for as I am concerned she was and still is the best trainer ever. Thank you Mellye for all the support you always gave me.
Mellye was a very caring individual that loved people. She was a "giant" in the Longview and East Texas real estate business. Mellye served as a mentor to dozens of realtors, including myself. Her energy and enthusiasm will be missed. May God be with the family members in the days to come.
The first time I remember spending time with cousin Mellye and "Bud", she had recently given birth to son, Doug. Mellye asked me and my sister, Julia, to come and baby-sit with her baby for a week so she could return to work at the airport where she was secretary to the president, as I recall.
When she got off work, she would drive Julia and me all around Dallas showing us the sights that we could see from the car.
That was the first time we had been to Dallas and that was quite an eye-opener compared to our little city of Kilgore.
Mellye, even though tired from getting off work, she still considered us in trying to show us a good time.
Love, from cousin, Betty Sue Mahurin Baker
So sorry for your family’s loss. I worked for Mellye in the 80’s. May God comfort your family in their grief.
