Melinda was an excellent mom and a really strong woman. There wasn't a day that went by that she didn't bring happiness to those who were around her. Just her presence was a ray of sunshine to those who where close to her. She had the most beautiful smile and memorable laugh.

She was also an excellent cook. Over the years, she collected a large library of cook books and, in her cooking, she included different recipes from around the world. She was a model saddle maker and had an incredible passion for horses. She loved her garden and dedicated a lot of time toward it.

She will be dearly missed and forever in our hearts.

Per her wishes, she will be buried in Mona Cemetery next to her husband Grant.
