MELODY MURRIEL Obituary
Born: September 17, 1976; in Jackson, TN
Died: June 20, 2019; in Joliet Illinois, IL
Melody "Melo" E. Murriel, age 42, was born Friday, September 17, 1976 in Jackson, Tennessee to Wanda and Slyvester Murriel Sr. On Thursday, June 20, 2019 at 6:30pm, Melo heard Gods whisper and was granted entrance into paradise. Awaiting her arrival was her father and her maternal and paternal grandparents.
Melody accepted Jesus Christ as her personal savior at an early age and was a member of God's Gathering Place Christian Fellowship Church and served at Saving Power Community Church.
Melo was currently employed at Navistar, Inc. in Lisle, IL.
Although Melo conquered and accomplished many of her goals and dreams throughout this short time, she would consider her greatest achievement, being the proud parent of Ze'Veyon "Pooh" Furcron and Zyane "Mini Me" Williams. Melo dedicated every breath and move of her life with the consideration of her children. Although she only birthed these two, she was a Mom to many. Melo was well known for her giving heart and encouraging words to motivate others. A loving mom, daughter, sister, niece, cousin and most of all dear friend, whenever there was a need she always somehow made a way.
Her legacy will continue, and her life's journey will forever be cherished by her heartbeats "Zay and Zy', her loving mother Wanda Jones, brothers and protectors, Preston (Tanya) Roberson of Chicago, IL, Slyvester Murriel Jr. of Maywood, IL and Corey (Tessa) Murriel of Milan, TN, special and devoted friends; Tyrone Hinton Sr. and Belithia "B" Johnson. Also survived by a host of aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins and dear friends.
Visitations will be held Friday, June 28, 2019 from 5:00PM to 7:00PM at the funeral home and Saturday, June 29, from 10:00AM to 12:00PM at Saving Power Community Church 701 Henderson Avenue, Joliet, IL., Celebration Service at 12:00PM, Pastor-Designee Tyrone Hinton Sr., officiating, Apostle George R Kimbrough, eulogist.

There are no words to describe how much my little brat cousin meant to me, but I know it pales in comparison to what each of you are feeling. My thoughts, prayers, and sympathies are with you during this difficult time. I pray that your strength will be renewed each day and you will continue to cherish one another and the precious memories that she left each of us.

Melody (noun, singular) Definition -->
Melody can brighten your day with her smile. She lives, she laughs and she cries too. But she never gives up because she believes that life is beautiful and there is ALWAYS hope. She is fire - Beautiful to watch, but dangerous to mess with. She can't be tamed, but she has unconditional love in her heart that makes her fight fearlessly for her loved ones.(Zay, Zyane, Wendy, Junior)
Rest up, Melo...
Love ya,
Auntie 'M'
