Obituary for Melba (Stapes) Boone
Melba (Stapes) Boone, 84, of Omaha, Nebraska passed away February 5, 2021 at St. Elizabeth’s Hospital in Lincoln, Nebraska. Per Melba’s wishes, a private family service and burial will be held at Harper Cemetery in Redfield, Iowa.
While in Omaha, Melba took a special interest in church, which was a source of hope and inspiration to her. After moving to Hickory Villa Assisted Living facility, Melba continued serving the Lord by inspiring all she came to know and love at Hickory Villa.
Melba found joy in spending time with her family, watching sports including women’s basketball, women’s volleyball, and college football. Needless to say, the Cornhuskers were her favorite team! After all, she watched Scott Frost play high school football with her grandson Jamie Morgan, while living in Wood River, Nebraska!
Melba is preceded in death by her parents, Floyd and Anna Stapes and two brothers, Merlin Stapes and Darrell Stapes.
Melba leaves behind to cherish her memory, her husband, William Boone; children, Bob (Mary) Morgan, Kelly (John) Brown, Karen (Bob) Halverson; grandchildren, Dan Morgan and Abigail (Joe) Durant, Jamie (Mandi) Morgan, and Jason Morgan, Angela Morgan and Charmaine (Michael) Ford; great-grandchildren, Ella Durant, Ellie, Amaya, Layla, and Ember Morgan, Dylan White, Faith Block, Jackson and Maizie Morgan, Jordan, Xavier, Glen, and Isaiah Morgan, Hezekiah, Josiah, and Luana Ford; great-great-grandchildren, Jazabel Vargas-Morgan and Xavier Jr. Sanchez; brother, Lloyd Stapes and a host of nieces, nephews and friends, all of who will miss her greatly.
