When Nathan returned from his tour of duty with the United States Marine Corp they moved with their son Adam to Hubert North Carolina as Nathan was stationed at Camp Lejeune. They lived there for 4 years. Melody and Nate moved their family back to Whitefield NH where they have resided ever since. Melody was the life of a party and always enjoyed life to its fullest. She enjoyed her family and lived to support her children in all their activities. Melody was very busy with her love for Racing. She spent 17 years on the top bleacher s at Riverside Speedway cheering on family and friends. After that she moved on with family and friends for Season tickets to Loudon starting at the beginning in 1990 and she became a NASCAR enthusiast. Many new friends were made at the camping trips to Loudon. She would spend a week in a parking lot spreading her antics and laughter to new friends every year. Besides camping in Loudon she enjoyed camping in Maine at the ocean and just spending quality time with her family. She was a devoted wife of an Iraq war veteran who performed both roles as a mother and father during Nate's 18 month deployment. Her other passion was her participation in Burndy's Relay for Life that she participated in the past few years. Melody was a devoted mom to 3 children: Adam (Whitefield) Tonia and Ned (Twin Mountain).
