Melissa Lomax Obituary

Published by Legacy Remembers on Aug. 2, 2024.
Melissa Ann Lomax, affectionately known as Misty, passed away on May 18, 2024, in Vienna, Virginia. Born in Chicago, Illinois, Misty carried her love for her hometown throughout her life, notably through her unwavering support for the Cubs.

Misty is survived by her loving husband, Donald; her son, Brandon, his wife, Natalie; and her cherished grandson, Holden. Her passion for life was evident in her dedication to her family and her hobbies. A lifelong Cubs fan, Misty's enthusiasm for baseball was infectious.

In lieu of flowers, contributions in Misty's memory can be made to the Fairfax County Animal Shelter, reflecting her love for animals and her spirit of giving. Misty's kindness, warmth, and vibrant spirit will be dearly missed by all who knew her.

A true friend, beyond measure. She always considered others' feelings before herself. She is so very deeply missed by all of us, as she and Don had become family, by unanimous vote. Life is not the same without her.
Love you so much,
K.K., Shauna, Noelle and Mom

My memories of Misty started in 1st Grade, she was the only person in the class I was taller than... I had a crush on her in 3rd grade and when her and Donny got together it was just inspiring. She was the kindest person and truly will be missed. WE LOVE YOU MISTY. Seeing You and Donny in Nov. 2021, will not be forgotten, God Bless.
