Melissa Amanda Woolley's Obituary
Melissa Amanda Woolley, age 66, went home to her Lord and Savior on Tuesday, August 3, 2021, after a brief battle with cancer. She was born January 7, 1955, in Bessemer, Alabama, to Preston A. and Ruth E. (Hall) Little, and married Frank Cambra “Rusty” Woolley on April 4, 2015, in Gatlinburg, Tennessee.
Melissa was the store manager for Love, INC. in Spring Lake, and loved her job and coworkers. She attended Harvest Bible Church in Spring Lake. Melissa loved life, rescuing anything whether bugs, plants, or items that could be “repurposed”. She took it as a challenge to always speak to a stranger and would always make a new friend. Most of all she loved the Lord and her family and friends.
She is lovingly remembered by her husband, Frank “Rusty” Woolley; son, Jake (Bo) Browning; stepdaughter, Rachel (Eric) Laymon; stepson, Chris (Sarah) Woolley; nine grandchildren; sister, Faye McMicken; two brothers, Henry (Kay) Little and Tracey (Jody) Little; and numerous nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents, and stepson, David Woolley.
