Melissa was a graduate of Fontana High School. She enjoyed spending time with her mother, family gatherings, shopping, going to casinos and playing computer games. Melissa was an avid fan of the Chicago Bears. Melissa, an employee of Staffmark, worked alongside her mother at Distribution Alternatives where she made many friends who mourn her passing and miss her sweet smile.
Melissa had a way of lighting up a room with her smile. When she opened up her heart, it was an unstoppable love that warmed everyone that came into contact with her. Her love and sincerity was visible with each smile, gesture and hug.
Melissa leaves behind her cherished, loving Mother, Nancy Martinez, Great-aunts Leona and Pauline, many beloved family members, and her adored dogs, Pepper, Blondie and CoCo. Welcoming her at the gates of Heaven are her Great-grandfather Antonio, Grandmother Louisa and Great-Aunt Bessie.
