Melanie Heinitz Obituary

Melanie Spotz Heinitz

Melanie Spotz Heinitz, age 61, passed away unexpectedly, yet peacefully in her recliner, snuggled with her dog, Bella, on September 25, 2024.

Melanie was the embodiment of love. All in her presence were affected by her kindness and felt seen, loved, and included. To say her husband, children, grandchildren, and friends will miss her is wholly inadequate.

Join us as we honor her legacy together. Please visit helenafuneralhome.com for service information on Wednesday and Thursday. All are welcome.

To plant trees in memory, please visit the Sympathy Store.
