Melda was a devoted Gookmis (Grandmother). She enjoyed spending time with family and time with her grandsons was very dear to her heart.
A well respected elder in her First Nation community, Melda will always be remembered for her beautiful spirit and kindness to others. Many would remember her as the lovely lady that worked for many years at Walsh’s Restaurant in Sturgeon Falls.
The family would like to give a special recognition to the Nipissing First Nation Health Unit for their outstanding care.
