Melanie Diane Williams

PERTH AMBOY – During her high school career, she was ranked among the top five female shot putters in Middlesex County. Following her 1993 graduation from Perth Amboy High School, she was a recipient of an athletic scholarship allowing her to pursue her baccalaureate degree at Campbell University, North Carolina. As a scholar athlete, she participated in collegiate track and field and graduated with a Bachelor of Science Degree from Campbell University in 1997.

She was an educator who taught students from grade school all the way up until high school. She had a love of science but found her true love by serving the Lord who enabled her to serve others. She was a  community-based counselor for an organization called Thrive2Heal counseling and therapeutic services. She never gave up on anyone and as a teacher, she touched every student she ever met, and invested in each person a scent of selflove, worth, and peace.

As a minister and mentor at the Greater Love Christian Center in Waynesboro, Virginia, she led a team church and engaged those teams in community activities that allowed them to serve others. She found pleasures in sitting in the sunlight and thanking God for its presence.

She loved laughing, sunflowers, and playing video games. She loved her family and friends and also took solo trips to the Bahamas, family trips to Mexico, and girls’ trips to Ireland with her mother, Barbara. She left a positive impression on every single person that she ever met. Although she left unexpectedly, we know she is well and rejoicing with those who went before her and now the family has another angel watching over them.
