Melanie Armstrong, 61, formerly of Lexington, Ohio, died Sunday, March 20, 2022. Melanie was born to parents Bruce and Irma Armstrong on August 22, 1960. She graduated from Lexington Senior High School in 1978 and attended Bowling Green State University where she received a Bachelor of Arts Degree in music in 1983.
After moving to Dallas, Texas, Melanie began her professional life as Company Manager of the Dallas Ballet. After several years with the Ballet, she went onto become House Manager of the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center, one of the 10 best orchestral halls in the world. Melanie spent 23 years with the Meyerson before retiring. After her "retirement," she was contacted by a longtime friend and entrepreneur who had acquired a new company, En Plein Air Pro, that manufactures and sells equipment to artists, world wide, who take their studios into the field. By conversations end, she was back in the art world as Company Manager.
