Melanie Alice McLean

Melanie Alice McLean, age 62, a beloved mother and cherished grandmother, passed away peacefully on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. Melanie was strong, humble, kind, thoughtful, and giving. She journeyed through life with unconditional love, compassion and a deep devotion to her family. She taught her children to have grace, kindness, and compassion and that a life rooted in love and loyalty is a life well lived.

She never wavered in her commitment to raising her children with kindness and patience. Her devotion showed in the little things she did; in the way she made each child feel special, in her steady presence, and in the warmth that filled her home. Melanie’s love was a fierce force that anchored her family and created a sense of security and belonging to all.

The continuing love that her children, their spouses, and her grandchildren share with one another is a true testament to Melanie’s dedication to family and the values she instilled in them. Her legacy lives on in the closeness they continue to share and in the love that binds them together.

She is lovingly remembered by her mother, Nancy Luihn Cullen; daughter, Fallon Morra and husband Ron, with their sons, Valentino and Vincenzo; son, Nicholas D'Eliseo and wife Sommer, with their sons Bodie and Kane; daughter, Mallory Tanner and husband Caleb, with their sons Elijah, Cato and Ado; brother William McLean and wife Carol, with their son Rylie and daughter Bonnie; sister Kimberly McLean and her sons Harry and Luke and daughter Desiree; sister Rhonda Leonard and husband Anthony, with their daughter Fiona and many nieces and nephews.

Melanie will be deeply missed but forever cherished by those who were lucky enough to be loved by her.

Her family will hold a private service to honor Melanie's life and the love she has given to them for so many years.
