Melinda Traylor Lopez, a resident of Dothan, Alabama, went home unexpectedly to be with the Lord on Tuesday, January 10, 2017, at SAMC. 

Funeral services will be held at 2:00 P.M., Sunday, January 15, 2017, at Ward Wilson Funeral Home with Reverends Tim Willis and Bob Sanders officiating.  Burial will follow in Memory Hill Cemetery.  The family will receive friends at the funeral home on Saturday, January 14, 2017, beginning at 5:00 P.M.

Melinda was the most fun-loving person who could always bring a smile to a family member or friend in happy times and in sad times.  Needless to say, she had a heart of gold, was a ray of sunshine, non-judgmental, loved everyone, and everyone loved her.  Because of her love for others, her desire was to be an organ donor and her wishes have been fulfilled.

She was a well-known “Dothanite,” participating in Dothan’s “Dancing with the Stars.”  She graduated with her Masters in Counseling from Troy University.  It was of the utmost importance for her to visit her children often wherever they may be i.e. Hollywood, CA and Birmingham, AL.

She was preceded in death by her father, Eugene Traylor and grandparents, Rudolph and Ferrell Wells.  She is survived by her husband, Dr. Fernando Lopez, mother, Joyce Traylor, brother Ronnie Traylor (Linda), two children, Kip Enfinger (Rachel), and Gabriela Lopez (Dustin), nephew Landon Traylor, niece Tiffany Miller (Jonathan).

Flowers will be accepted or donations may be made to Ridgecrest Baptist Church Dothan Building Fund or First Baptist Church Dothan.
