In loving memory of Melissa Mae Morrell, 62 years old, who sadly lost the fight after a long, difficult battle.
She was born February 26, 1959 in Pittsfield, MA, to devoted parents George C. Morrell and Marjorie (Vincent) Morrell.
She attended Taconic High School and furthered her studies at the Bauder Fashion School in Miami, FL.
She was always proud to be a mom, which she is to daughter, Janine Mae Abdallah, of Del Mar, CA. Melissa also loved cooking, music and spending time with her family.
In her life, she held different jobs, but her true calling was in healthcare. She served others for years, as a devout Catholic and home-health aide. In the end, she was cared for by the most-compassionate caregivers and best friends, Ennis Bracero & Tina Mirto.
Melissa is also survived by her brother, Deacon George J. Morrell and his wife, MaryAnne, of Dalton, MA. She also leaves behind a niece, Molly Cullen and her husband Shane of Dalton MA, their four children Amiah, Sadie, Portia and Shane Jr. and a nephew, Christopher Morrell and his wife Maliaca of Cranston, RI and their two sons, London and Luciano, all of whom she cared for very much.
