Monica Compton

Monica was somewhat of a quiet soul with a spicy spirit. She would light up a room with her wide, bright smile and sense of humor.

Monica was the most carefree of all the girls. A trait often admired. She worried about little she could change. We stood to learn a lot from her. She did what she wanted and broke more than a few curfews along the way growing up.

Monica was a graduate of Pike High School, Indianapolis, Indiana. She wasted no time and began working as soon as possible. Monica was a hard, dedicated worker. Rarely missing days of work, she would pack up her daily yogurt and banana, (she loved anything banana flavored), grab an occasional book to read as she loved to read and head to work. She landed her first “real” job in 1994, working at the Marion County Auditor’s Office. Monica later transitioned into the insurance industry.

Everywhere Monica worked she made friends and created unbreakable bonds along the way. A true sisterhood. She loved each and every one of them and was a good listener and friend.

Monica’s love for her daughter Zion was immeasurable. Stepping into motherhood for Monica was the biggest blessing she could ever ask to receive. Being a mother to Zion brought a sparkle to her eyes that was unmatched. The relationship between Monica and Zion was beautiful to watch.

Monica was preceded in death by her mother, Ruth L. Compton, brother, Kelvin E. Compton, grandparents; Samuel and Elizabeth Compton.

Monica leaves to cherish her memory daughter, Zion K. Birdsong, father, Melvin E. Compton, sisters; Deborah D. Compton, Karen M. Murray, nephew, Jordan A. Murray, god-parents; George Hale and Carol Hale, god-sister, Stephanie Hale and a host of uncles, aunts, cousins, friends and sisterhood of friends.
