Obituary of Emma Ann Melendez

In loving memory of Emma Ann Melendez, born April 2, 1990 in Evanston, IL, deceased August 18, 2020, Boulder, CO.

Emma is survived by her mother, Ashlyn Melendez, her father, Jose Melendez and his wife Nicole Totoni-Melendez, her two siblings, Justin and Madeline Melendez and her adorable Cavapoo, Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Emma is a graduate of Lehigh University class of 2012, where she earned a B.A. in Political Science and played Volleyball as the starting Libero for two seasons. She earned the Patriot League Defensive Player of the Year award in her second season.

Emma worked for IBM in consulting and later as a government contractor in D.C.

Emma’s passion for life was only exceeded by her love of laughter and music. Her magnetic personality brought joy and warmth to friends, family and colleagues alike.

She left us too soon but left us her gifts in our hearts and memories.

 

She’d like to remind us all in the words of Agador Spartacus “Everybody, take it easy”.

A Message to the Community:

The antidote to loss is connection. Unfortunately, during this pandemic, connection is limited and is leaving grieving families isolated in the midst of mourning. In the absence of attending the service or paying a Condolence Call, please consider leaving condolences and/or memories for the family and friends of Emma by clicking on the Tribute Wall tab. For a grieving family, sharing stories of how that person impacted you is a special way to keep those memories of their loved one alive. It also helps to pass along the values, wisdom, and even humor of these lost loved ones. This type of sharing will show your support to the family members as well as other friends as you collectively mourn the loss of this special person.
