Melinda was predeceased by her father Charles “Steven” Murray. Melinda graduated from George Mason University with a Bachelor of Science in Marketing. For the latter part of her professional career, she was a Financial Analyst for various Department of Defense and Military agencies. However, one of her greatest honors was being part of the team that delivered the JSF C4ISR Plan. She would always reminisce of how they were all more than coworkers they were family. Melinda was a was a devout Christian and a member of Burke Community Church who loved the word of God and participating in various church groups and activities throughout her life. Melinda was a mother first; she loved her family without regard and would do anything for them. She was regularly active and enjoyed traveling, skiing and scuba diving. A much cherished get away for her and her children was St. Lucia, where they made lasting memories and wonderful friends. The family would like to give a special thanks to all of Melinda’s wonderful friends who have been there for her throughout her fight. She was touched by every card, every visit, every thought, and every prayer as were we. We were fortunate to have Melinda for as long as we did but it was only through the love and compassion of her family and friends that we were able to so. Thank you all.
