Melanie Beaton Obituary

Published by Legacy on Apr. 20, 2023.
BEATON, Melanie (nee Keeling)
Our hearts and all of my family's hearts are broken. Our beautiful daughter, Melanie, passed away suddenly on Friday, April 7th, 2023, the day after her 54th birthday. We are all in complete shock as we try to wrap our heads around this devastating reality. She passed away quickly and did not suffer, thankfully. She leaves a giant, gaping hole in the lives of her parents David and Dianne Keeling and her husband Dwight. Her beloved pets Foxy, Patches and Stevie Nicks are lost without her, as well as her brothers, Mike (Rae) and Darren (Lesley), her nieces and nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, her mother-in-law, Bernice Beaton and all of our extended family... and oh-so many friends. She was our glue and she will be missed beyond imagination. Hug your loved ones tight - this is a reminder that tomorrow is never promised. Put on a Stevie Nicks song and raise a glass to our beloved Melanie.
We have tried to reach as many of her friends as possible; apologies if we were unable to do so personally. There will be a Celebration of Life on April 23rd at 5 p.m. at Between The Lines Winery, 991 Four Mile Creek Rd - Niagara On The Lake. Please let us know if you can attend A.S.A.P. so we can plan accordingly. In lieu of flowers donations can be made to Beamsville 4 Paws Rescue or Urban Wildlife Rescue (located in Grimsby).

Two weeks ago a phone call brought news that shattered my heart into a million pieces. My best friend was gone. Disbelief.
To Dwight, all family and friends, I share your tears and unbearable pain.
Mel I love you. I cannot imagine my life without you in it. I will miss you every day. We had so much more to do.
Love forever, your friend, your Polly, Bev. Xo

Her light and love for all livings things will certainly be missed. Her humour and zest for life was one of a kind. Our deepest condolences to all that are feeling the loss. Although taken way to soon, take comfort in knowing that the time she did have here, she lived to fullest. RIP Beautiful!
