Melissa Sanders never met a child that did not like her. Her love for her grandchildren was evident and infinite. She had an iron will that kept her with us as long as we had her.
As a Certified Nurse's Assistant in her nursing home care, she had a great love for the elderly and they loved her. Her hobbies included cooking and photography. Her many friends and relatives could not help but love her even when they were mad at her.
She will be missed by all of her family and to all those who loved her we thank you.
There will be no services as per her request. Contributions in memory of Melissa may be provided to Saint Anthony's OSF Hospice of Alton, IL.
