Congratulations to Jeremy Beloate for winning his battle round tonight on The Voice!!! Boo on The Voice for only showing us a few seconds of his performance! Still so very proud of you and makes us all the more excited to see your next performance! Love you much 💗

This is Monday, and I’m here again to ask Everyone to watch The Voice tonight ( and/ or download the app) and vote for my friend, and Memphis’s own, WENDY MOTEN!!! This week I’m also asking that you share this with your friends, families, neighbors, coworkers, and anyone you know who might pick up the phone and/ or vote by app for Wendy tonight! One thing is for sure, she will do her part, she just needs us to cheer and vote her on to the TOP! The Voice is on NBC at 7:00 CST. Go Wendy and Go Team Blake⭐️⭐️💥👏👏

Some of you may have noticed that I have been pretty absent from Facebook for a while. I have been dealing with some health issues. I try not to live my life on Facebook, but I am having surgery in the morning to try to figure out some answers for the extreme abdominal pain that I have been in for the past five years. I would appreciate your prayers… No. 1, that they find something and No. 2, that they find something that they can fix!! The plan is for it to be laparoscopic unless they find something that requires a full incision. I would appreciate you keeping me in your prayers. I, like so many on here, am ready for some good news!!

If any of you that have taken lessons from me before could leave a kind review, I would be very grateful. Thanks and have a wonderful Thanksgiving😊

Melinda Grable’s Obituary

Little did anyone know, that the beautiful baby girl, born to Frank and Virginia Grable, Melinda Ann Grable, would change the lives of so many people, all around the world. She took her 1st breath on earth on August 17th, 1947, in Springfield, Missouri, and she took her 1st breath in Heaven on Nov. 5th, 2019. She was surrounded by some of the many who loved her dearly. Melinda spent most of her childhood in Springfield, MO, and moved with her parents to Kansas City in 1962. After a very active high school life at Shawnee Missouri North High School, Melinda was off to the University of Kansas where she became a Jayhawk for Life. She was a member of Kappa Kappa Gamma Sorority and has lifelong friends from those days. While in school, she studied music, voice, piano, and musical theater, and eventually received her Doctorate in voice. She taught for a while at Southwest Baptist University in Boliver, MO, and she played at the renowned Starlight Theater in Kansas City. Little did she know that her greatest adventures were ahead of her, in Memphis, TN. It was through her positions as Entertainment Director at many Parks across the country, including Libertyland, Owner of The Grable Agency, and Co-Owner of Heartbeat Productions that she began to change the lives of talented young people from all over the country. She was a force to be reckoned with. She knew how to make Stars, yet in the end, this not how Melinda will be remembered. Past all the awards, all the titles, all the successes, what Melinda will be remembered for is her Heart, her Giving, her Love, her Kindness, her Selflessness, and her Unwavering Trust in the Lord. Whether you had known her for 50 years or 15 minutes, You were the fortunate one, as you had just come face to face with an angel.
Here on earth, eagerly looking forward to the day that we all meet again, are her three cousins, Marian Dawson, Rolla MO, Evelyn Wallace, Hollister, MO, Carol Webster, Hopewell Jct., NY, a “Family” of friends, who hold her right next to their heart and consider her a “sister”, and finally, hundreds of the precious lives and entertainers touched by her, and who in turn love her dearly.
Services will take place, Nov. 16th at Muehlebach Funeral Home
6800 Troost Ave, Kansas City, MO, 64131
Visitation at 12:00 followed by services at 1:00
In lieu of flowers, the family asks for donations to be made to Teen Challenge of Memphis, St. Jude Hospital for Children, or any charity or music scholarship program of your choice.
*There will be a memorial/celebration of Melinda Grable’s life in Memphis, TN after the 1st of the year. Details will come at a later date.
