He preceded her in death on August 23, 1976. Melda was the next thing to an angel. She worked miracles in her kitchen, created beautiful works of art with a crochet hook and ball of yarn and always had a hug and a warm smile for everyone. She was known to her family as the "Davis miracle". Not one of her children expressed or can lay claim to the strength she had. When the going got tough, Melda got stronger. Along with her husband Sherman she raised seven children in the small town of Cannonville, Utah, where she taught them to love and respect themselves and others. Not one of her family or anyone else ever left her home without the feeling of being loved and was always well fed.

The Autumn Harvest Feast was a common celebration of a bountiful yield. 3. Edward Winslow and William Bradford recorded brief descriptions of the celebration. 4.
