Melinda Munger Obituary
September 6, 1946 – November 17, 2025
Melinda "Mindy" Munger, beloved world traveler, storyteller, and librarian, passed away on November 17, 2025, at the age of 79. Born on September 6, 1946, Mindy lived a life rich with curiosity, generosity, and wonder. She believed stories were bridges between people, and she dedicated her life to sharing them-whether through her work as a librarian, her countless journeys across the globe, or her own warm and animated voice.
Mindy had a deep love for nature, especially butterflies and wildlife. She found joy in quiet trails, fluttering wings, and every small miracle the natural world offered. Her ability to weave these details into her storytelling made her tales feel alive and unforgettable.
She is survived by her nephew, Joe Munger, and his wife Samara Munger; her great-nieces Taylor, Caitlyn, and Jordyn; her cherished best friend Carrie Sue Ayvar and her family; and her lifelong circle of friends lovingly known as The Tunas. Each of them carries forward the light, laughter, and love that Mindy so freely gave.
Mindy's life was a testament to curiosity, kindness, and the belief that everyone has a story worth telling. She will be deeply missed, fondly remembered, and forever loved.

Melinda was a dear friend for so many years. Originally, we lived close to each other and as a result shared nearly everything the same interests, and friends. She will be sorely missed.
