Support Melanie’s Family - Kelly & Kids

Donation protected


On Sunday, August 2, 2020, Melanie was admitted to Memorial Medical Center with a brain aneurysm that had ruptured.

She suffered two additional strokes, possibly athird which led to massive brain swelling causing irreversible damage.  Melanie fought with every ounce of strength she had and thousands of prayer warriors around the country were lifting her up, but in the end, the damage was unrelenting.  Melanie passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family, at 4:05 on Wednesday, August 12, 2020.  

Melanie was full of life - she loved her family and friends with her whole heart and soul.This loss is incomprehensible.   

Melanie is survived by her life partner, Kelly, her beloved sons, Jacob and Joseph and bonus children, Savannah and Keegan.  While the funeral costs were covered by Melanie’s sister’s family, she did not have life insurance as she had been recently laid off when Bayer Crop Sciences closedthe local office. Any donations to help cover medical bills and living expenses are greatly appreciated.  

Thank you much for your continued love, support and prayers for Melanie and her family!
