She was a mother to many more than her own children. She was a true blessing to us for 70 years that held many hearts, calmed many fears and created the finest magical memories that we will treasure forever. She had a love for cooking, traveling, and most importantly, her family. She is survived by her husband, Ray Melvin; four children, Wendy Ciruti (Jerome), Ricky Berrigan (Lori), Jody Lamkin (Bruce) and Bonny St. Andre (Everett); seven grandchildren; three great-grandchildren (the rug rats) and many nieces, nephews and friends. We will miss her immensely but she will live in our hearts forever. A celebration of her life will be held at her home from 12 - 3 p.m. Saturday Jan. 15. ===================
