Melissa Dianne Gray-Ball

With a radiant presence, heart full of love, and a spirit that touched everyone she met, her beauty shone from within, illuminating her surroundings and drawing people to her warmth.

With a kind smile and compassionate eyes, she made everyone feel seen and heard. Her inner beauty was reflected in her outer beauty, with a gentle face and a graceful demeanor. She’s left
an indelible mark on the lives she touched, and her memory will continue to inspire love, kindness, and warmth.

Melissa Dianne was born on October 25, 1961, in Monroe, Louisiana, to the late J.C. and Mary K. Gray. She transitioned from this life on October 20, 2025. Melissa was a meek, soft-spoken person who found joy and comfort in the simple pleasures of homes.

She was preceded in death by her parents, J.C. and Mary Gray; sister, Rosie G. Carroll; and nephew, Kevin Carroll.

She leaves to cherish her memories: three daughters, LaTonia Gray, Duncanville, Texas, Andrea White, Waldorf, Maryland, and Christian Ball, Delhi, Louisiana; one son, Danny (Chrystal) Carroll, Jr., Delhi, Louisiana; four granddaughters; seven grandsons; three great-grandchildren; and a host of relatives and friends.
