Melissa was born May 20, 1980 in Charleston, SC where she resided her entire life. She loved being with her family, friends, and students. She especially loved
being surrounded by family and friends on holidays and celebrations.

Melissa graduated from the College of Charleston with a degree in Historic Preservation and a master's degree from Savannah College of Art and Design in Historic Preservation.

Melissa was an educator and taught students at First Baptist School of Charleston. She had just begun a new journey teaching at Trident Academy where her husband also works. Melissa was a light unto the Lord and a lamp of hope to her students. She worked in an occupation she had no idea she would enter. God put her there for Kyle to find.

She will be fondly remembered and sorely missed, but always loved. To God be the Glory, great things He has done. Melissa's life will influence more people then we will ever know.
