She was the daughter of Jeanne and Walter, and she is survived by her daughter Cynthia, her son and daughter-in-law Jim and Penny, and her daughter and son-in-law Elizabeth and Art. She was the proudest of grandmothers to her grandchildren Jimmy and Kelly, Joey and Nikki, Jacob and Hayleigh, and Alexander, and to her great-grandchildren Riley, Caroline, and Talan. She is also survived by countless cherished friends.
Melinda will be remembered for her great intelligence, her wonderful sense of humor, and her infectious laugh. We will miss her always, but we are so grateful for her long, happy life with us.
