Melissa went to Ross Glen Elementary, then, to Alexandra Middle School in Medicine Hat. In 1992, the family moved to Moose Jaw, SK, and Melissa was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. She had surgery and radiation. In Moose Jaw, Melissa attended Palliser Heights and Central Collegiate, graduating in 1997. Melissa then, moved back to Medicine Hat, and attended Medicine Hat College, graduating in 2000 with a Diploma in Early Childhood Development, then worked for a few years in various day cares. Melissa then, went back to Medicine Hat College and Graduated in 2005 from the Education Assistant program, where she graduated with Honors. In 2011, when Melissa was no longer capable of working in day cares she started working at Costco in Medicine Hat, as a food demonstrator, and was employed there, till December 2020.
Melissa moved to Sherwood Park, AB in 2021, when her health became more of a challenge. She lived at Country Cottage, assisted living in Sherwood Park. There she met many new friends and had great care givers, especially, Henry (LPN) whom she called her “superman!” Melissa was moved to long term care in August 2024, then December 2024 to Pilgrims Hospice in Edmonton, where she had very, caring, loving Angels watching over, as she completed her journey Home to be with Jesus.
Melissa was an inspiration to all who met her. She was very accepting of her life, and often referred to her life as “God’s Cake. Her suffering was nothing compared to how Jesus suffered for her.” All part of what made her so special.
A Celebration of Life ceremony will be held February 19th, 2025 at the Hillcrest Church in Medicine Hat, AB at 1:30 pm.
