You could find her climbing mountains, serving disabled orphans in Jamaica, traveling the world, caring for her family in every stage of life, welcoming friends into her home, and loving God through all the highs and lows of life.

She and her husband lived in 7 states during their marriage including Indianapolis, IN; Seattle, WA; Los Angeles, CA; Syracuse, NY; Atlanta, GA; Beaver Creek, CO and Chandler, AZ. making friends in all of them. She loved to travel and explore both close to home and far away. She traveled to every continent on earth except Antarctica.
Melinda was an important part of the family business in Atlanta, and much of its success is because of her. She loved the mountains of Colorado where she was an accomplished biker, snowboarder, and hiker. She had climbed 28 of the 58 14,000 foot mountains in Colorado and just last summer hiked 89 miles in the Swiss Alps.
