Melinda Kay Reed Underwood, age 63, passed away on July 3, 2023. She was lifelong resident of Rutherford County and a member of Wards Grove Baptist Church.

She is survived by her husband of 44 years Bill Underwood, son David Underwood, mother, Lounette Neely Smotherman, sisters Tammy (Marty) Dawson, Lisa (Todd) Hackney and Shannon (Jimmy) Barrett and grandchildren, Valorie and Claire Underwood.
In her younger years she enjoyed cheerleading and playing softball, as she got older she followed her dream to be a nurse. She became an amazing nurse helping people. In retiring she became a great homemaker, a beloved grandmother to her girls and the job of taking care of her husband who was her soul mate and best friend. She will be sadly missed by all of us.
