Melissa Agnes Mooney

Melissa Agnes Mooney, daughter of the late Robert G. and Hazel (DeFee) Mooney, was born on October 20, 1963 in Montgomery, Alabama, and passed away on December 1, 2013 at her home in Mtn. Grove, Missouri, from complications of Diabetes that she had battled for a few years. She was 50 years of age.
Melissa grew up in various places, moving with her family because her father was in the United States Air Force. The last place her family lived before her father retired from the military was in England. They then moved to Mtn. Grove, where Melissa graduated from Mtn. Grove High School in 1982.
She loved her family very much and especially enjoyed spending time with her two nephews, Brayden and Ian. She looked forward to babysitting them and loving them as much as she could. Even though she did not have any children of her own, they filled her life with happiness and smiles.
Besides her parents, she was preceded in death by a brother: Danny; and by an aunt: LaVonne Eggert.
She is survived by two brothers: Robert G. “Bucky” Mooney of West Palm Beach, Florida, and Daena Haughey of Mtn. Grove, Missouri; her step-mother: Valerie Mooney of Mtn. Grove; her aunt and uncle: Paulette and Jerry Waggle of Mtn. Grove; a niece: Amy Lucas; a nephew: Jeremy Mooney, both of West Palm Beach, Florida; two special nephews: Brayden and Ian Haughey; and other relatives and friends who will miss her very much.
