Melissa McIlvaine Obituary
Publish in a newspaper
Melissa was born December 14, 1976, in Key West, FL, to Jack and Barbara (Wright) McIlvaine. The family moved to Texas in 1981 and has lived in the Sugar Land/Katy area since.
Melissa graduated from Kempner High School in Sugar Land in 1995, after which she enlisted in the Army National Guard. Though she was no longer active in the Guard, her training always stayed with her. Throughout her life, Melissa made many friends - she never met a stranger. Many will remember the meals she shared with others.
Melissa was predeceased by her grandparents Hilda and Jack McIlvaine and Eleanor and Preston Wright, and her Uncle Gary Wright.
She is survived by her parents Barbara and Jack, sister Lianna McIlvaine, husband Jessie Jalomo and sons Jack and Jacob (her Js) to whom she was very devoted. She is also survived by nephew Braeden Plangklang, Aunt Kathie Wright, Uncle.Kenny Wright and Aunt Carole Gundle, plus numerous cousins.
A celebration of life is planned with details to be announced.
In lieu of flowers donations for Melissa's Js can be made through MealTrain. https://mealtrain.com/5zy91z
