Mellissa Brown, 58, passed away peacefully on July 30th, 2021, surrounded by her family in Mesa, Arizona. Mellissa was born in Bountiful, Utah, on April 10th, 1963. She was loved by many and was a light to those who knew her. One of her greatest accomplishments was becoming a registered nurse; before that, Mellissa worked as a certified dietician. She also enjoyed camping and fishing with her husband Eric, tending to her garden with her grandchildren, and spending time at the beach collecting shells. Mellissa had a steadfast testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ and believed strongly in the power of prayer. In 1984, she married and was sealed to her sweetheart, Eric Jay Brown, in the Seattle Washington temple. Together they raised three beautiful kids: Nachelle, Natalie, and Joshua. Mellissa is survived by her mother, Carole Randall, siblings Jenny, Susan, Robert, and Katie, husband Eric, their three children Nachelle (Justin) Sampson, Natalie (Ben) Heywood, and Joshua (Haley Jones) Brown, as well as five grandchildren and three granddogs. She will be deeply missed by her family. They know she is in heaven, playing with her beloved dog Teela, and looking forward to the day when they are reunited as an eternal family. Funeral services will be held on Thursday, August 12th at 10:00am, preceded by a viewing at 9:00am at the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints chapel at 6942 E. Brown Road, Mesa, Arizona 85207. Funeral arrangements are being handled by Bunker Family Funerals.

Dear , Eric , Nachelle, Natalie, and Josh, I’m so sorry about Melissa, she was such a special, Sweet , spirit, that could light up a room with her smile, and her feisty personality, when she was little we use to call her our
“Little Fireball”🥰 and that she was! But she was also the most kindest, most , tender , loving, caring , friend , Mom, wife , and( Sister, which she was to me) that you ever could have in your life! If you needed anything, a ride somewhere. Someplace. to sleep, food, a shoulder to cry on, Mellissa was there, I think though it’s hard being that sensitive knowing that a person is in need, kinda wares you down , but Mellissa kept helping everyone she could, That’s why she became a nurse, and a darn good nurse she was, even though, she had many health problems she worked hard and got through nursing school!! My sister was one of a kind, she worked hard, Eric I want to thank you for being such a Amazing Husband , friend , nurse, ect for my sister, you took such Amazing care of her! I am just so Thankful, for all the love , support, and caring you gave her, and I just want you to know that , I love you so much, and that you and the Kids and Grandkids, are in my Prayers, day and night!! I wish I could have been there for her services, but my health made it difficult to travel, I’m great, just good old Arthritis, long time to sit in the car! But I was there in Spirit!! Mark and the Boys send there love, Mark, was as devastated as I was when we heard of her passing, he sends his Sympathy, if you need anything, please let me know, or Mark!! You know she was so Beautiful, inside and out!! She had so many sides to her, I’ll never forget when I saw the picture of her with that Huge fish she caught , I think it was about a year or two ago, it was almost as big as her, I just , I miss her so very much!! Love You All , Aunt Jenny, (Mellissa’s Big sister)
