The Avoca Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Melody Ann Haines.
Calling hours are from 4-6 p.m. Wednesday at the Avoca Funeral Home, 22 N. Main St., Avoca. Private interment will be in Valley View Cemetery, Avoca.
I remember Melody as a child, really cute and talkative. As a teenager she became a beautiful obedient girl with a lot of energy and curiosity. I always knew she would be a success in whatever chose to live her life. She will be missed. I send my condolences to her family.
I worked with Melody for many years at WITR Radio. She was a great DJ and so passionate about her favorite types of music. My deepest condolences to her family.
I got to work with Melody a few times at Kodak, but she left an incredible impression. Melody always had her work status set to “The Peaceable Kingdom”(google it..)…. not something businessy- like “I’m away”. I asked her once why and she referred me to the painting by Edward Hicks. Now I understood. Melody was always available to help, always so positive, and she always fixed the problem. I didn’t work with her long, but I am so much a better person for having met her. My deepest condolences.
Melody, always in my heart. You’ve gone ahead, so I’ll catch up with you later. Peace to you and your family. More love than you’ll ever know (or maybe you do!)–Sherlea
Think of and remembering Melanie with fond memories. Prayers to the family.
