Hi Marissa, OK, you say that you go into the Phone app, find the contact, then go to Edit and tap delete. Could you tell me whether you do this when you are on the Favorites tab in the Phone app or the Contacts tab? You could even just tell me if the Edit button is at the top left or the top right of the screen.
I suspect you are on the Favorites tab and use the Edit button at the top left of the screen. This will delete the Contact from the Favorites list, but it does not delete the actual Contact. In order to delete the Contact you have to either select the Contacts tab first or simply use the Contacts app to begin with. Find the contact you want to delete, then double tap on it and open the contact details. On this screen tap the "Edit" button at the top right of the screen. The Delete button is the very last button on that screen. If you are using the Phone app and Contacts tab, you can find it faster by touching the bottom left of the screen, it will still show the Phone app dock items and Favorites is the bottom left. Now just swipe left once. For some reason Voiceover often jumps right over the Delete button and you have to swipe right again once to find it. Double tap and confirm and you r contact is truly gone. If you are using the actual Contacts app, there is no Favorites, Recents etc. across the bottom and the delete button is the very last element on the screen. You can do a single 4-finger tap on the bottom half of the screen, once again for some reason you may land on the button before Delete, just swipe right once.

I am prompted if I want to delete this contact I tap delete . Now if I go into the messages app and hit the letter M Mack's info is still there listed with my other contacts whose names begin with m.
