Melissa was born October 29, 1957, in Cincinnati, Ohio to Dr. Roger and Mrs. Jane West. Melissa grew up in Terre Haute, Indiana where she met her husband, Mark in grade school and attended Terre Haute South Vigo High School and Indiana University in Bloomington.
She and Mark moved to Colorado in 1982 and spent most of their 43-year marriage in Colorado Springs and Palmer Lake where they raised two beautiful children. She enjoyed spending time with her grandkids, expressing herself through the arts, mentoring young mothers in the local M.O.P.S. chapter, and serving the women’s ministry at church.
Melissa will be lovingly remembered and dearly missed by her husband Mark, children Bradley, Laura, son-in-law David, grandchildren Sylvia and Soren, and a large extended family.
She was preceded in death by her mother Jane Roberts West. Melissa is survived by her father Dr. Roger West Sr., siblings Dr. Roger West Jr., Jennifer Smith, Judy Fleschner, and Jim West, along with their spouses and several nieces and nephews.
In addition to this wonderful family, Melissa and Mark have been active members of First Evangelical Free Church in Colorado Springs and have been blessed by their community of brothers and sisters in Christ.
Melissa will forever be in our hearts and memories, until we are able to join her again in the presence of the Lord.
Melissa's Memorial Service will be held on Saturday August 12, 2023 @11am at First Evangelical Free Church, 830 North 30th Street, Colorado Springs, CO 80904. For those unable to attend, the service will be recorded and streamed on Youtube and Facebook.
Fond memories and expressions of sympathy may be shared at www.MtViewMortuary.com for the Bachman family.
