Melanie Pierce Obituary
On October 31, 2016 our Beloved Wife and Sister passed at her home in Chardon, Ohio.
Melanie Anne Oldham Pierce, age 56, left her wonderful Music Ministry to the Lord in Jesus Name. She ministered to three correctional prisons, 10 churches and supported synagogues and studios for over 30 years. She helped lead worship and attended New Covenant Fellowship for over 22 years.
Melanie was the wife of Jon C. Pierce (Chardon, Ohio) for 33 years. Melanie leaves a large family of her precious Aunt Beverly Oldham; sisters, Laura LaRusch, Julie Noll, Naomi Gerboth; and brothers, Jeff Oldham and James Oldham. She also had stepsisters and brothers, Linda French, Jimmy Thompson, Ed Stanton, Don Stanton, along with other family and friends.
