Addendum 1: 12/31/2011:

Classmate Mickey Phillips has learned that Melba died in an automobile crash on Christmas Day. Here is the Times story that Mickey saw.

Second person dies after Christmas crash

A second person has died from injuries suffered in a two-car crash Christmas Day, the Caddo sheriff’s office says.

Glenda Cornell, 66, of Bossier City, died Friday, five days after the crash that claimed the life of Melba Arinder, 68, of Haughton, driver of the 2006 Nissan Altima in which Cornell was a passenger.

The head-on crash occurred at about 4:30 p.m. Sunday at North Lakeshore Drive and R. C. Thompson Road.

Arinder's vehicle collided with a 2003 Mercedes Benz S500 driven by Jared Sheppard, 17, of Shreveport, according to deputies.

Also in the Nissan with Arinder and Cornell was William Arinder of Haughton.

Collier Mickle II, 21, and Chris Mickle, 20, both of Shreveport were in the Mercedes. All were taken to area hospitals.

The investigation is ongoing. No citations have been issued.

Addendum 2:  01/06/2012:

Mickey Phillips has learned that Glenda Cornell was Melba’s younger sister. Based on her age she may have been in the Fair Park Class of 1963. No information has been found showing when and where she was buried.

Addendum 3: 01/06/2012:

An archive service used by the Shreveport Times shows that Melba’s husband William Aubra Arinder passed away on 01/04/2012. So far no other information has been found on his death. His funeral service is scheduled for 01/07/2012 at the same Church where Melba’s service was conducted. He will be buried at Hill Crest Memorial Park, Haughton, LA, presumably next to Melba.

A third victim has died from injuries suffered in a head-on collision on Christmas Day in Caddo Parish.

LSU Health confirms 71-year-old William Arinder passed away Wednesday evening as a result of the wreck on Sunday afternoon at North Lakeshore Drive and R. C. Thompson Road.

Three occupants in the Mercedes were also taken to LSU Health: 17-year-old Jared Sheppard, 21-year-old Collier Mickle II, and 20-year-old Chris Mickle, all of Shreveport.  All three have since been released from the hospital.

No citations have been issued pending the findings of the crash investigation.
