Melissa was a person whose heart was truly devoted to her friends and family. Known for her unwavering loyalty, she was a friend who was always "all in," ready to support her loved ones through thick and thin. Her vibrant spirit was complemented by her creative passion, particularly for arts and crafts. Recently, she had taken up the art of designing and creating beautiful bows, a hobby that brought her much joy. Melissa also enjoyed shopping, binge watching her favorite shows with her closest friends, frequenting casinos for a bit of people watching, and most of all, attending NASCAR races with her son, Derrick; which was her favorite pastime.

She is survived by her son, Derrick Morgan, who was the light of her life and her steadfast companion at many NASCAR events. Melissa was preceded in death by her mother, Ms. Diana Morgan, and her life partner & absolute love of her life, Mr. Raymond Ramos; all three of whom she loved deeply and beyond mere words .

The family is currently making arrangements to bring Melissa home and plans to celebrate her life with a service that encapsulates all of her favorite things.
