Melissa Durek October 27, 1976 - July 4, 2019

Melissa lived in St. Louis Missouri, Tacoma, Washington, Las Vegas, Nevada and most recently, Portland and Gresham, Oregon. She enjoyed spending time with her many friends that she made in various places and also while working her two most recent jobs: first McFarlanes Bark and then later, Precision Castparts Company. She loved working in various church ministries and helping people wherever she could. She loved singing and teaching. She received the Lord Jesus Christ as her personal Savior at an early age and continued serving Him into her adult life. “To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord” Her smile and gracious attitude towards life and people remain characteristics we will always remember. We believe one day we will see her again…. She is dearly loved by her mother, Charlotte M., her father Darwin and her brother Steven M. Durek
