Melissa April Davenport

Melissa was born on April 2, 1979 to the late Cindy Santos in Fargo, North Dakota. She studied at Hamilton College and married Matthew Lester Davenport after they fell in love. Together, they shared 23 beautiful years and began a family. Melissa found joy being around her friends and family, she was always passionate to help them. She always loved her family’s weird sense of humor and their pranks.

There were many things that made her happy, like the beach and arts and crafts. She had spirit and an interest in tattoos and the supernatural. She enjoyed collectables, like elephants, cows, and unicorns.

Melissa’s legacy will be her two wonderful, caring children, Ethan and Ashley. She was a good mother who always tried her best.

She is survived by many important people in her life; her husband, Matthew Davenport, her children Ethan and Ashley, sister Angel Frausto, brother David Santos, her stepfather Manual Santos, adopted mother Cindy Salwey, aunt and uncle Patty and Dave Deshamais, as well as best friends Chrissy Grace and Tony Lane, and many other friends and family.

The family will have services at a later date.
