One word I would use to describe Melissa is - Effervescent. She would bubble with joy and happiness in any situation. She had a tremendous, generous and forgiving heart, the soul of an artist and a deep love for her family. Her care for her clients was extraordinary. She not only was effective in the details of work but genuinely cared for the ministries of her churches. She would often lament over options to try to provide the best care and premium for her people. That’s not a good worker – that’s a great human being.
Those of us who had the privilege to work with her have been forever touched by that spirit of joy. God truly blessed all of us by allowing our paths to cross with Melissa.
Looking forward to “swapping war stories” with her again in Heaven.

I only knew Melissa in high school, but she was always kind and well-loved by everyone. Her smile lit up a room. From reading her obituary, I can tell she carried this beautiful disposition into her adult life, and will be greatly missed. Thinking of you, Scott and family.

I am so fortunate to have known and worked with Melissa. She was very caring, always in a great mood, and had an amazing personality. We worked together at Church Mutual and interacted with a lot of the same customers. Every customer that knew Melissa spoke very highly of her and offered their concern and support in the past couple years. They frequently asked for updates on how she was doing and promised to keep her in their prayers. You could fill Arrowhead Stadium with the amount of people that prayed for her from churches all over Southern Missouri.
Sending love and healing prayers to Scott, Summer, Tyler and families.
We will keep her in our hearts, she will be dearly missed.

This world was a better place having Melissa in it. From her youngest years she has always been the kindest, sweetest person ever. Being her Auntie A was such a blessing. Our hearts hurt at this tremendous loss, but I am comforted knowing how closely she walked with Jesus and how strong her faith was. My prayers are with you, Scott, Summer and Tyler, and with Becky, Maschera and Allan as you grieve for this amazing person. Her presence left this world a better place.

To Melissa's Family: I was so very saddened to hear that one of the brightest "lights" of positive sunshine has now left our 'company' for a time. Missy always had a sparkle in her eyes, a sweet smile on her face and something positive to say to help others. She will be so missed by us all, and to those closest to her, please accept my most heartfelt condolences. Becki Behrens

Melissa was the most kind, caring person I have ever met. She so graciously helped me with training when I started working at Church Mutual and was never too busy to answer my questions. When I was able to travel with her you could tell she truly cared about doing the best for her clients as they all truly respected and cared about her in return.
Her smile was infectious and her laugh was contagious! She had the biggest heart and never knew a stranger. She was truly one of a kind and will be missed.
I was truly honored and blessed to be not only her co-worker but also her friend~
