Born December 14, 1973 in Denville, New Jersey to Edwina Nedo (Scharlat). She grew up in Jefferson, New Jersey with her younger brother Mark.
Melissa was a graduate of Jefferson High School and continued her education graduating from Montclair State University with a bachelor’s in finance. She continued her journey in finance by achieving her CPA.
Her drive and ambition were an inspiration to all who were blessed to know her. She excelled in areas of her career where few women did holding the title of Global Chief Financial Officer. Her talents and drive overflowed into her personal life as well. If there was ever a need for party planning, financial goals or a weekend project, Melissa has a spreadsheet, check list and a flow chart to follow.
Yet her proudest accomplishment was her beautiful family. No matter how hectic her career was, family was always first. She faced every obstacle with grace, strength, courage and optimism.
Melissa was pre-deceased by her brother Mark. She is survived by her husband Todd, daughter Madison, son Jack, mother, Edwina, father, Herman, her niece Makaila and nephew Liam.
