Loving mother of Tanner McGovern. Beloved daughter of Carol LaCasper. Sadly, she is preceded in death by her father, David LaCasper and brother Stephen LaCasper.
Melanie's greatest love was for her son Tanner, who she adored very much. She earned her Master's Degree in psychology and enjoyed helping other people so much that she wanted to make a career out of her everlasting kindness. She worked at Tirami Su Restaurant in Northville, enjoyed music, going to concerts, cooking and entertaining. In addition to her many interests, she was a very talented artist, a fashionable lady and loved the outdoors, camping and going to the lake. She especially loved to spend time with her family and friends. She treasured her dog, Teddy and her pet iguana, Squiggy who she took cared of for 19 years. Melanie will be loved and missed by all.
