What an incredible woman Melanie was! I had the pleasure of working with her for sixteen years at Green Run Elementary! If it wasn’t asking something health related for my students in my class, it was asking about my own two children. She always had the answers or some really good advice! Spunky and creative is how I will remember this special lady! I will always remember the pancake jewelry she made after our pancake breakfast at school – I could not believe she shellacked them too! I wore them proudly for several years until they broke into pieces! I loved her sense of humor, too! When I was having my second child, which was a boy, she would always ask how Boy George was and wanted me to name him Boy! It was really funny to see Boy George written on his card in the hospital when he was born after her saying it so often at school when pregnant! She was a wonderful nurse, coworker, and friend and will be missed by so many who knew her.
Melanie knew me as Judy Woolridge when I worked for her husband as a dental assistant. Melanie and I had our Children about the same time so she gave me lots of good advice and some beautiful things. She was smart, creative a good cook and a fun to be around. Her two boys were the world to her and she was so proud of them both. So sorry to hear of her passing. My thoughts are with Corey and Jesse. Judy Brabrand
