Melody Jason Obituary

Melody Jason

Scottsdale - Melody Jason, 76, of Scottsdale, passed away on January 11, 2019. She was born December 30, 1942 in Evergreen Park, Illinois to Wilbur and Carol (Vanderwarf) Panega. Melody attended Bloom High School in Chicago Heights and moved to Scottsdale, Arizona in 1965 with her husband, Donald. She is survived by her children, Todd, Robin and Greg; her grandchildren Ashley (Jon) Holdsworth, Seth Jason, Allison and Wesley Mason, all of whom she was so proud; her sister Candace Van Zile and nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her husband Donald and their infant son Mark. Melody enjoyed her job as a property manager and was very good at it. She led by example and was the rock that gave foundation to our lives. Her priority was to help in the time of need. Life wasn't always easy for Melody, but she found ways to keep everything positive and together - she was an amazing woman. Her legacy will carry on through her children and grandchildren. Her life advice was, "Honey catches more flies," a motto our family put in use. She loved to chit-chat and will be remembered as the kindest person that we've ever known. A visitation will be held from 4-6pm Sunday, January 20th at Messinger Mortuary, 7601 E. Indian School Road in Scottsdale. A Funeral Service will be held at 11am Monday, January 21st also at the Mortuary. An invitation to a reception immediately following will be announced at the service. Private interment and final prayers will be at St. Francis Cemetery, in Phoenix. As our sweet mom would always say, "See you later alligator, after a while crocodile."
