Melissa was a gifted artist and longtime business owner who operated a T-shirt shop for many years. Her creativity, eye for design, and warm personality bought joy to many. Melissa also had a deep affection for her Weimaraner dogs and leaves behind her beloved companion, Gemma. She cherished her sisters, Virgie and Judy, and now rejoins her family in a heavenly reunion filled with peace and love.
She was preceded in death by her sisters, Virgie M. Dronet and Judy Dronet and by her parents, Percy Dronet and the former Zula Harrington.
The family requests that visiting hours be observed at Our Lady of the Most Holy Roman Catholic Church, 600 N. Church Avenue on December 26, 2025, from 10:30 AM until the time of services at 11:30 AM.
May her soul find eternal rest in the loving arms of our Lord, and may her memory be a blessing to all who carry her in their hearts.
