Margaret Zephyr Mellon
May 14, 1984 - September 5, 2018

Beloved daughter, granddaughter and niece, died peacefully at home in her sleep of cardiac arrest in the early morning of September 5th.

Margaret graduated from Lewis and Clark High School in 2002. She attended Seattle University and Gonzaga, and hoped to work in public relations for an NPO. As a youngster, Margaret was a talented and dedicated dancer. She started jazz and ballet lessons when she was eight and continued through 10th Grade. She worked harder and was more devoted to dancing than anything else, and hoped for a future in dancing, but medical problems forced her to curtail her practice. Margaret was smart, funny, kind and considerate. At work, she was efficient and responsible. She loved good food and was an excellent cook.
She had many friends, of all ages, who meant a great deal to her. We extend our love and gratitude to all who supported and encouraged her. Thanks also to the medical staff at Sacred Heart who worked so hard to give her two more months to be with us after her first cardiac arrest.
She is survived by her mother Emily, father Doss, aunts Kathleen and Amy, and uncles Frank and Scott. Margaret supported several charities, such as the ACLU, ASPCA, and Kids in Need of Defense (KIND). A memorial service will be planned later.

Dearest MZM, may your spirit fly free, borne on a gentle west wind.
