Melva has an endless supply of energy for her family and community. She assists her husband and family in running a large, successful dairy farm. She has a love of gardening, and finds time in a busy schedule to help others.

For thirty-nine years, Mrs. Hornbrook has been a 4-H leader in both clothing and dairy 4-H clubs. The Hornbrook farm received the Centennial Farm Award. Mrs. Hornbrook has given several tours of the farm to school children and other organizations. For many years, Melva opened her home and farm to "Farm Vacations".

For several years, Mrs. Hornbrook has served as secretary-treasurer for the Kings County Agricultural Fair. She provided many hours of her time to this fair in which everyone in Kings County brings flowers, vegetables, cooking, crafts, and homemade quilts for judging. This fair can boast its huge success because of Melva's efforts. Mrs. Hornbrook has served on the Country Living Days Committee, a week-long festival in Sussex to promote the dairy, beef, and horse interests in the region. At the local open dairy show, one cannot help but notice all of the Hornbrook Ayrshires placing up front in the classes.

For several years, Mrs. Hornbrook represented the local Sussex 4-H district in Fredericton which took Melva away from home quite often. Melva has always kept up on the latest and newest developments in 4-H rules and regulations.
