Obituary of Melanie Howell

On Feb 6, 2020, God sent his angels to take Melanie Jane Howell to Heaven as she lost an earthly battle with cancer. Melanie was a woman of strong faith who was devoted to her family. Her last days on earth were spent surrounded by family and close friends. Melanie was born October 30, 1954, in Anderson, Indiana. She is reunited in Heaven with her parents, Eldon and Mary Daughhetee and her older brother Eldon “Robby” Daughhetee. She will be lovingly remembered by her four children, Angela Perez, Amanda (Christian) Dudziak, Tyler (Betsy) Whiteaker, and Taylor (Josh) Wortham as well as by her sister Cathy Kohn. She will also live on in her grandchildren, Baileigh Whiteaker, Lauryn Williams, Ashley Whiteaker, Brock Whiteaker, Cayson Perez, Braelyn Perez, and Chloe Dudziak as well as numerous other family members. Melanie worked as a nurse before choosing to become a full-time mother. She enjoyed crafting, especially crochet and needlepoint, reading, candy making, and any time spent with her loved ones. She had a wonderful sense of humor that made her easy and fun to be around because she was never mean-spirited and saw the best in everyone. Although our hearts are breaking now, we have peace knowing that she has left a legacy of love and treasured memories and she is now without any pain and in the hands of God. A memorial service and celebration of Melanie’s life will be held on Friday, February 21, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. We are encouraging people to wear purple because it was her favorite color.
