Melba had a keen mind for finances and was integral in managing the books for Schlimmer Decorating. She was also an entrepreneur, in her own right. Always a fashionable dresser, with a background in retail, in the early 1980's, she founded and operated the Village Apparel Shop, with stores in Hamburg, Pinckney and Whitmore Lake.

Her generosity, spirit and love for family could be seen in the nurturing relationships she had with her grandchildren. Whether teaching them her work, taking them birthday shopping, making a cozy quilt or mashed potatoes for dinner, her love for them was deep. Those left to honor her legacy include her husband, Neil, and the following:
