She graduated in 1982 from Victoria High School. She has four siblings, and they all grew up on the south side of Victoria. Melba went to Victoria College and then attended school in Houston, earning a medical degree reportedly. She had a drug issue, as reported by her brother. Despite her drug problems, she was kind and a family person.

In an interview, Melba's brother exclaimed, while talking about her sister:

"Even with her drug problems, she was still loved by everyone in the family,...To an extent it did change her behavior, but it didn't change her....She's was still the same loving, caring person, but with a drug problem. She still attended family gatherings and took part in things....She'd stay clean for six months, a year. I would always support her. I never looked at her at an outcast," Lott said. "She was my baby sister and we had a special bond." (Via Victoria Advocate)

After Melba Lott's dead body was allegedly found in her apartment in Victoria on March 8, 2006, it was sent for an autopsy. Melba's body was poorly decomposed, and the first autopsy report ruled her death to be the outcome of a drug overdose.

However, in 2008, another subsequent autopsy determined that her death was due to brutal homicidal violence. Allegedly, she was beaten and stabbed to death, exclaimed Dr. David Dolinak, the Travis County Medical Examiner.

In an interview, her brother said:

"It was devastating not only to me, but to the rest of the family. I was thankful our parents were already deceased and didn't have to deal with it,...I had to break the news to her daughter that night," Lott said. "Although she no longer lived with her mother, they were still close....She will not get to go to her daughter's high school graduation or her wedding. She will not be at any more family gatherings. She is missed," (Via Victoria Advocate)
