Melody was the owner of The Refurbished Gypsy.  She also worked at Constant Spring in Goshen.  Melody and Blake loved going “treasure hunting”.  The two of them would visit Thrift stores, Antique shops and anywhere they might find a hidden ‘treasure’.  Melody would then refurbish the find.  She was a multitalented person.  Melody was a talented Photographer and she enjoyed crafts.

Melody was someone who was always there to help.  She would often have a fund raiser to help anyone who was in need.  She has continued to help those in need by being an organ and tissue donor.  Melody would be proud to know that her giving of her Gift of Life is saving the lives of many other people.
