A redbud tree was dedicated on May 1, 2025, by Mayor Abdullah Hammoud and the City Beautiful Commission to the late Melanie Mily, a 46-year commissioner. 

Mily was noted for her long service and involvement in school clean-up parades, honoring residents for decorations and yard upkeep, working in elections, and teaching in Dearborn for 37 years. 

The dedication ceremony included participants wearing light-up necklaces, honoring her "fashionista" style. She passed away in November 2024.
