Melissa Ann Sayers, 38, Taken Too Soon, But Forever in Our Hearts
With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of Melissa Sayers, who left this world far too soon at the age of 38. Melissa was a bright light in the lives of all who knew her-fun-loving, intelligent, and full of warmth. Her infectious laughter, sharp wit, and kind spirit made every moment spent with her unforgettable.
Melissa embraced life with open arms, finding joy in the little things and making even ordinary days extraordinary. She was a cherished and beloved mother, sister, daughter, and a source of endless love to those lucky enough to know her.
She is survived by her greatest joy, her daughter, Arielle Mackensie Crumley. Melissa's love for Arielle knew no bounds, and her legacy will live on in the strength, kindness, and love she instilled in her.
Though Melissa's time with us was too short, the impact she made will last a lifetime. Her memory will be carried on in the stories we share, the love she gave, and the many lives she touched.
A celebration of Melissa's life will be held Wednesday, February 26th at 6PM at Krienen-Griffith Funeral Home located at 1400 Kirkwood Highway Elsmere, Wilmington, DE 19805.
Rest easy, sweet Melissa. You are loved and missed beyond words.
