Melvin Dean Hood, 89, died June 7, 2009, at his home. He was born July 15, 1919, in Monroe County to John Roy and Addie Zepher Page Hood. He attended Bigbee and Amory schools. He married Mable Elliot Conwill in 1942. A lifelong resident of the Amory and Bigbee areas, he owned Hood’s Cleaners in Amory with his brother, Robert, for 35 years before retiring. He was a charter member of the St. Andrew’s United Methodist Church and served on the Official Board of Stewards, various committees, and helped any way his church needed him until his health failed. He will be remembered as a gentleman; a great father; and a man with a strong love for God, his wife and family. He was a man anyone would be proud to call a friend. He enjoyed fishing and farming in the Carolina community, gardening, quail and dove hunting, his grandchildren, and his dog, Sarge.
Services were at the E.E. Pickle Funeral Home Chapel in Amory with the burial in Haughton Memorial Park.
Survivors included his wife of 66 years, Mable Hood; one son, Kennon Hood (Beverly) of Amory; two brothers, James Orlan Hood of Olive Branch and Robert Page Hood (Wynelle) of Amory; one sister, Addie Etoyle Hood Earley (Myles) of Madison, Ala.; five grandchildren; and one great-grandchild.
He was preceded in death by his parents; and brothers and sisters, Genevea Mae Wood, Roy Lamar Hood, Nell Louise Hood, Grace Jeanette Barnes, John Theron Hood and Marvin Elbert Hood.
