Melissa I Connor

Melissa was a devoted wife, exceptional mother and the truest of friend to those she held dear.

Many factors through life shape people, and how they navigate those circumstances are said to be the legacy we leave for those who remain.

For those closest to her she was a rare and precious diamond, who could light up a room effortlessly with her smile, engage in any level of conversation, and shine truth into the ambiguousness of the world.

On May 14th, 2025 she ascended to join with her family preceding her Father William Connor, Mother June Henninger, Daughter Lisa, and Son James and to illuminate a much larger audience than the thousands of lives she touched while here, She now awaits to be reunited with the love of her life Paul with whom she shared everything for the last thirteen years, their dog Lily, her brother Robert, and other family and friends.

Her legacy, life with Paul and echoing of this message is encompassed in the words below:

Love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, and always perseveres. Love never fails.

1 Corinthians 13:4-8(a)
