Melva Marie McCammon made her grand entrance into the world on December
1, 1933, in the charming town of Idaho Falls, Idaho. For 90 vibrant
years, Melva lived a life rich with laughter, love, and unforgettable
adventures. She departed on June 17, 2024, leaving behind a legacy that
will be treasured by her loved ones.

Melva's sense of humor was her signature trait, her laughter echoing in
the hearts of those who had the pleasure of knowing her. Melva was a
woman of many talents and passions. She was passionate about her family,
raising two sons with her beloved husband, Louis McCammon, whom she
married in 1970. Melva was a remarkable homemaker, her love for her
family evident in every meal she prepared and every gathering she
hosted. She delighted in the tradition of making raisin bread with her
granddaughter, a recipe passed down from her own mother. Her five
grandchildren, seven great-grandchildren, and seven great-great-
grandchildren will forever treasure this memory.

An adventurous spirit, Melva was an avid traveler who had a particular
fondness for African safaris. She and Louis made it a tradition to
travel to Ixtapa every year for a month, a custom started in the 1970s.
Melva's passion for travel wasn't limited to her personal life; she was
the proud owner of her own travel agency. She loved nothing more than
sharing her passion for exploring the world with others. Melva also
found joy in bowling, golfing, and knitting; her hands always busy
creating something beautiful. She moved from Vacaville, California, to
Lake Havasu City 24 years ago, quickly becoming a cherished member of
the community.

Melva McCammon is preceded in death by her parents, George and Helen
Joslin and survived by her devoted husband, Louis McCammon, and their
two sons, Raymond Glessing and Louis McCammon.

Her Celebration of Life will be on June 26, 2024, from 8am - 10am at
Lietz-Fraze Funeral Home. It will be a time to share stories, laughter,
and tears as we remember the remarkable woman that Melva was. She will
be laid to rest at 10am at Lake Havasu Memorial Gardens.
