Melanie had just celebrated her 8th wedding anniversary on April 14th and is survived by, in addition to her father, her loving husband, William Davidson; four children, Ashley Benge (Matt Callahan), Joseph Davidson, Karissa Hemphill and Kaylee Riddle; and her three siblings, Junior McIntosh (Sherry), Tracy McIntosh and Wayne McIntosh. 

A funeral service will be held on Thursday, May 07, 2020 at 2:30 p.m. at Bethel Baptist Church with Rev.
