The family of Melinda Sue Schoon is mourning an unimaginable tragedy following a heartbreaking incident that occurred on July 12, 2025. Melinda’s life was senselessly taken in an act of domestic violence at the hands of her husband, who subsequently took his own life. The devastating circumstances surrounding her passing have left her loved ones in deep shock and sorrow.
Melinda was a beloved mother, a compassionate friend, and a woman known for her gentle spirit and unwavering kindness. She touched countless lives through her warmth and generosity, and her loss is being deeply felt by all who knew her.
As her family begins to navigate this painful and overwhelming time, they are also working to fulfill Melinda’s final wishes—namely, to be cremated and laid to rest with dignity and love. The unexpected nature of this tragedy has left the family in urgent need of financial assistance to help cover funeral expenses, cremation, transportation, and memorial arrangements.
A fundraiser has been created to support these efforts. Donations of any amount are deeply appreciated, and every contribution will directly support the family’s efforts to honor Melinda’s memory with the respectful farewell she deserves. Those unable to donate are encouraged to share the fundraiser to help reach others who may be able to assist.
In the face of this devastating loss, the family expresses their heartfelt gratitude for the kindness, prayers, and support extended by friends, neighbors, and the community.
