Services were held in Palo Duro Canyon, the Mack Dick Pavilion, on Tuesday, October 5 at 6 p.m. A separate service will be held for burial at a church cemetery near her home place in Alabama.
Her childhood dream job was to be a nurse, but she loved teaching, singing and reading. And she had a Iifelong relationship with Jesus Christ. Mel graduated from Canyon High School, West Texas State University and Southwest Theological Seminary. The Baptist Student Union at WTSU, and the friends made there, created a solid life foundation. She served with the lnternational Mission Board and served in Kokstad, and Lesotho, South Africa. Ordained by a Baptist congregation in Canyon, she was a rare ordained female Baptist minister. She also served as the Chaplain for Northwest Texas Hospital. She taught many years at Amarillo High School, teaching government-type classes. She held teaching assignments at Friona High School, as well Adrian High School. She joined the fight to save the declining Herring Hotel. Recently, she had been leading tour groups at The Goodnight Ranch in Clarendon, and became a familiar face at Panhandle Plains Historical Museum where she repaired strings of seed beads on flapper dresses, and preserved and mounted historic Texas flags.
She treasured the relatives from Alabama, her inner circle of friends, her nieces and nephew, and the students she nurtured. She loved to travel, cook, study history and genealogy, and research. She could sing like a nightingale. She did anything she set her mind to and always worked at it harder than a 'coal mine' mule.
She was preceded in death by both sets of grandparents, her parents, her aunt and uncles on her mom's side, and an aunt on her dad's side. She is survived by aunt Mable Lee, Elba, Alabama; sister Venie McDaniel and husband Earl of Borger, Texas; Venie's children Alyssa Moore and husband Nicholas of Lubbock, Janae McDaniel of Denver, Colorado, CJ McDaniel and partner Makayla Contrerez and daughter Mia, Tessa McDaniel of Borger, and Brenna McDaniel of Stinnett; a chosen mother Glenna Schmidt of Amarillo; a chosen son Terrell Slocum and wife Trina, and children Carson and Jenson of Amarillo; mentor Bob Goodrich; chosen family Heather Fuentes and husband Eddie along with their children; treasured friend Cindy Wallace; precious friends, Mr. and Mrs. David A.
