Melissa Ann lived in the McNeill area most of her life
and was a member of
She was a very strong and independent woman and a
special person in many ways, as a mom, grandma,
sister
and friend. She defined the word
“selfless” because she was always thinking of others and never of
herself. She had been a caretaker for her mother,
grandmother and uncle without complaining until they left this life.
She gave to others without expecting anything in
return, because she had a heart of gold. She deserved much more than
she ever
received.
She is survived
by
her daughter, Flora Goss of Picayune;
son-in-law, Denson Goss of Picayune;
two brothers, Carl Penton of Poplarville and
Michael Penton of

Sandra Hardin of
Oleda Almonzo of
three
grandchildren, Brandon Goss, Amber
Goss and Dillon Goss; and
one
great-grandchild, Brayden
Goss.
She will be sadly missed by her daughter, son-in-law,
sisters, brothers, grandchildren, and many, many friends.
