Honoring Melissa's Bright Spirit, Love and Life

On May 23rd my sister, Melissa Marie White, passed away in the home of a friend. She was vibrant, thoughtful, beautiful, funny, encouraging, and so much more.

She was born on December 19th, 1981 and lived her life on her terms with open arms to everyone she met. She didn’t judge others and was always there for those in need.

She loved her cat Domino, her family and her many friends. She loved shooting hoops, her plain white tees, her vans and converse and living life. She really loved writing and used to dream up children stories because she loved children so much.

During this time we are asking for help with her funeral services. She didn’t have life insurance or burial plans as this has come with no warning and has left us all shocked and deeply heartbroken.

We will be having a memorial service for her which we plan to take place at James Funeral Home in Newton Falls and will announce the date and time once it’s planned.

I know times are hard for everyone and understand if you cannot donate but please attend her services and share a happy memory you have of her with her family and friends.

The world is darker today without her unapologetic light. Melissa, we will love you forever and carry you with us, every single day.
