Melissa Ann DeMasters, of Peninsula Lakes, Long Neck, passed away unexpectedly August, 27, 2023. She was born on December 4, 1974 in Portland, ME, the daughter of Micheal and Terasita Dee.
Melissa graduated from Ramstein High School (Germany), Class of 1993. Following graduation, she attended Yuba City College in California. After Yuba, she moved to San Antonio, TX, where she would quickly find her love and true calling - the hospitality business. She met her husband, Donald B DeMasters, while working at The Westin La Cantera Resort in 2001. They celebrated 19 years of marriage in January. Their careers would eventually take them to the Mid Atlantic region, where they would end up settling in Delaware.
She was an amazingly fun person, always the life of the party. She enjoyed hanging out with friends at the beach, the hockey rink, or the lacrosse field. She loved her job, her team, her members, her friends, and more than anything in the world - her two boys.
Surviving in addition to her husband, Donald DeMasters, are her sons, Lleyton Walker DeMasters (17), and Hudson Louis DeMasters (12), Father, Micheal Dee, Mother, Terasita Arnic, and brother, Benjamin Dee.
A celebration of life will be held at 12 noon on Wednesday, September 6, 2023 at Melson's Funeral Service at 32013 Long Neck Rd, Long Neck, DE, 19966, where friends and family can call after 11 AM. Interment will follow at Woodlawn Memorial Cemetery, Millsboro, Delaware.
