Melissa Baird McLaren passed away Monday,March 30, 2026 due to complications from type 1 diabetes. We would like to ask her friends and community members to help us honor her memory with a fund for expenses and to allow her sons time to grieve the devastating loss of their sweet mother. Melissa was a true friend, kind and funny. She was a mainstay in our community as she worked at Cressmans for years and greeted us all with warmth and humor. She will be missed greatly by many. Donations can also be made at Community West Bank in Prather or at Cressman’s General Store.
