Nancy Lynne Wolf Mellon

Nancy Lynne Wolf Mellon, nee Forman, nee Wolf, age 76, died at her home on Saturday, April 29, 2023, after fighting a year-long battle with multifocal glioblastoma. She was a true warrior and kept her spirits up throughout the fight. Nancy is survived by her daughter, Jennifer Forman, sister Barbara Wolf, sister Mary Jean Noon, brother Greg (Jay) Wolf, and her companion Bob Plank. Nancy grew up in Wyomissing Hills, Pennsylvania. After high school she attended Kutztown State College where she met her dearest friend, Jackie Fisher. Nancy traveled to the west coast for a bit after college, but ended up back east in Philadelphia where she met her first husband, Jerry Forman, the father of her daughter Jenny. Nancy later moved to the Reading area and lived there for the remainder of her life. An avid reader and lover of literature, Nancy taught high school English at Fleetwood High School for many years. She loved her students and always enjoyed telling stories about them. While at Fleetwood, she also supervised the school yearbook, Academic Challenge, and school newspaper. But literature was just one of Nancy's loves. She was a superb photographer, and many were lucky to receive her photos as gifts. Nancy was also passionate about music. She played in the rhythm section of an all-girl band, "Cosmic Bush," for a short while and loved going to concerts as well as discovering new musicians. Her second husband, Seth Mellon, was a gifted saxophone player. Finally, Nancy loved the eastern shore and enjoyed many summers in her old waterman's house in Chincoteague, VA. She never missed a chance to watch and photograph the amazing wildlife, and of course, the ponies each year. Nancy's love for life was contagious. People were drawn to her and her passion for the things of life. Her wit was famous, and one always found her…or left her…laughing. Nancy will be missed by all who knew her. She leaves a hole in the hearts of those who love her.
