Melody was educated in the schools of Columbia, SC. She graduated from the University of Kentucky.  Melody was a beautiful person inside and out. She loved and served others through her occupation as an insurance adjuster and notary. She was a beloved daughter, mother, sister, wife, aunt, cousin, and friend. She cherished her family and adopted friends into her heart. Her smile and laugh were pure and infectious. Although she was in and out of MUSC, she encouraged others to live their best life and seldom complained. To know Melody was to know was to know the love she shared as a follower of the Lord.  The Bible was her instruction book, and a recent favorite book was The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse by Charlie Mackesy. Melody was fond of pink, fancy handbags, and snazzy shoes. She will truly be missed.

She shares a love legacy of her life with her husband, Ronnie Preston, five brothers, Matthew (Crystal) Moore, Jr. of NC, Michael Moore of NJ, Kyle (Fantasia) Moore of NY, Corey Wilson of Columbia, SC, and Christopher Moore of GA, and one stepdaughter, Charon (Andre) Brooks.
