Melissa Timberlake

In Loving Memory of Melissa Timberlake (1994-2026)

It is with profound sadness and broken hearts that we announce the unexpected passing of our beloved Melissa Timberlake, 31, of Barberton, Ohio. Melissa left this world far too soon, leaving behind family and friends who cherished her deeply and will carry her love in their hearts forever.

Melissa was preceded in death by her grandfather, Paul Anstead, and her great-grandmother, Mildred Dobbins.

Melissa leaves behind her cherished daughters, Laylah and Noelle; her sister, Gina Timberlake; her parents, Angie Ramsey and Jeffrey Anstead; and her grandmother, Phoebe Asseff Ramsey.

Melissa was a bright light in the lives of those who knew her. She had a contagious laugh that could fill a room and lift even the heaviest of spirits. Though our hearts ache in her absence, we find comfort in the laughter she shared and the countless memories that will forever remind us of her beautiful spirit. Melissa will be deeply missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Melissa had a deep love, and a natural compassion for animals. She always showed kindness and care to any animal she encountered. Her love for animals reflected the warmth and tenderness she carried within her and shared so freely with the world.

In lieu of flowers, the family asks that memorial donations be made to Paws With a Cause, an organization that trains service dogs, in Melissa's memory.

The family has decided to hold a private celebration of life, with details to be announced at a later date.

May she rest in peace, and may her memory be a blessing.
