We are heartbroken to share the passing of our beloved Melinda after a long and hard-fought health battle. Through it all, she faced every challenge with incredible strength, unwavering faith, and a sense of humor that was truly one of a kind. To know Melinda was to love her.

Melinda loved God fiercely, and her faith was the foundation of her life. She had a gift for making people laugh, for lifting spirits, and for reminding others not to take life too seriously—even when circumstances were heavy. There was nothing more important to Melinda than spending time with loved ones and showing up for them, especially during the hard times.

During this difficult time, we’re hoping everyone can come together and show up for Greg, Tosha, Curtis, and Vanessa like Melinda showed up for so many of us over the years. As they navigate through their loss, we want to help alleviate the financial burden of funeral expenses and the aftermath of her long medical journey. If you are unable to give, sharing this fundraiser and keeping her loved ones in your prayers would mean the world.
