We've been blessed to know Melanie and the Crews family for many years, and she was always a joy to be around.  She was the kind of person that God wants us all to be, a devoted Christian, wife,mother and grandmother,  and a friend to many.  If the world had more people like Melanie, it would be a much better place!  While her love and kindness and smile will be missed  here on Earth for a long time,  we have the surety and peace that she's in Heaven praising  Jesus with her beautiful voice, and looking forward to a great reunion with her family and her many brothers and sisters in Christ.  To Scott and all of the family, we're keeping ya'll in our prayers.

Melanie what a wonderful celebration of life today for you. I love to see SO many came to pay respect and share memories of  you. 
Thank you for your friendship, the laughs and good times. 
Your beauty will continue to shine with the way you presented yourself with others. 
God gained an angel.  
Love and will miss you and your beautiful smile. 
Brenda Aaron and Dave Thomason

Condolences to the Crews family from Captain Ron

Melanie and I became friends and lived together in the summer and fall of 1971-72. Our first apartment was above the Credit Bureau which her parents owned. Then we moved into one of "old lady Ford's" apartments in a 3 story white wooden house behind what was then Belks.  We were experiencing our first tastes of freedom and all the revelry that accompanied such a time. Every Sunday,  we'd buy a bag of candy and head to Crescent Beach in her orange Vega with a white stripe on the back.  There were other ingredients to this craziness that I won't mention here. It was a memorable chapter of my life.  Rest in peace my dear old friend.

I can only say this lady was one of the most gracious women I’ve ever had the privilege to meet. Her welcoming attitude was always evident and her character was so genuine and warm. She’s with Josh now and our Lord. 
Her children show every day the kind of mother she was. All I can say is I’ve never met a finer family and Scott too is a kind receptive friend that always puts a smile on my face whenever we meet. I love you all and it’s a privilege to call you friends. Blessings Always 💜🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼

Melanie Crews, what a beautiful person. I am so happy and blessed. I met Melanie and spent time with her, only regret is, I didn’t meet her sooner. I would make a comment about I love your hat. I think every time I saw her she had a different hat on. I realize with each hat was just another part of her life she wore so many hats as the saying goes. We all know where Melanie has always been in her beliefs and I know that gives the family and friends a good feeling, knowing she is in heaven.  We love you and will miss you, we will see you again. Thanks for the love. Brenda Aaron Thomason

From I.T.T to the Trad rental, the house going down to 305 from lake Diston. So many years but only fond memories of a loving heart and a beautiful soul, yesterday and today.  May the loving arms of a loving God embrace you Melanie in eternal peace,

Love the photos ! ❤️

Although Melanie is gone, she will exist as the family shares many laughs and memories when they look back at all these fun times.

I know the Crews  has the strength to keep making memories together . . .

Hug,
Maureen Ryan

We came in contact with Melanie and Scott Crews when we moved to Palm Coast Florida and started attending Coastal Family Church in April of 2018. Such beautiful people and so much love to give all around them. Melanie was such a beautiful classy lady whom I loved. Her beauty,  determination and Godly woman was inspiring to so many. You will truly be missed. Our deepest sympathies and prayers go out to family and friends.  We love you Melanie.  May you R.I.P.  Mike and Sharon Marchetti

Condolences to the family.  I knew Melanie when I worked for Mrs Hodge at the credit bureau, oh so many years ago. She was a sweet, young lady and so like her mother! I know she will be missed !   Prayers for peace and comfort.

Sending my thoughts and prayers to the Crews and Hodge families. I grew up in Palatka with Melanie. We attended St James United Methodist Church together and graduated in 1968 from Palatka High School. She always had a beautiful smile and perfect hair! I moved away after high school but always loved seeing her at events when I was home for visits. May she Rest in Peace.

My deepest condolences to the Crews family

I’m so  so sorry to hear this. What a wonderful human being Melanie was. She made everyone that knew her feel special. She was the light in the room without saying a thing. She was an amazing mother and wife. I grew up loving Scott from age 6 . We were best friends all through school. My first job out of hairdressing school was for Scott’s mother.  When I meet Melanie I was so trilled Scott had found this amazing woman.  And I’m grateful that our children got to know each other.  This family has a very special place in my heart ❤️ May God grant you HIS peace, comfort and mercy. 🙏

I have so many wonderful memories of Melanie as we started our aerobics classes and then teaching.  We had so much  laughter that which I will hold in my heart forever.  
Her smile will be shared with all those gone before.
Love and prayers to the family,
Lila
