It was such an honor and joy to help Melanie along her journey here at Huntsman. Her quiet demeanor never got in the way of a smile or laugh. She is truly missed by all of us and especially by me and others who worked closely with her. I send my love and condolences to all of Mel's family and friends.

Too many amazing memories to even count. Melanie was so good to me and my family over the course of the 40 years we have known each other. She has always been there for me, and was my earthly guardian angel. Now she is my heavenly guardian angel, as I'm sure she is for so many! Her love knew no bounds. She gave so much, and never expected anything in return. She did so without pretense. She was very humble and private, but touched more lives than I think she will ever know. Thank you,...
