Wanita Jean Melluzzo
October 3, 1927 - December 10, 2012
Wanita Melluzzo, 85, passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by her loving family December 10, 2012, in Cherry, Arizona. She was born in Topeka, Kansas on October 3, 1927. She married the love of her life Frank in 1945. After 67 years of marriage the love and friendship they shared was an inspiration to everyone they knew. To her husband she was a constant companion and confidant; whether it was cooking over a campfire on a hunting trip or hosting a party for 400 people, they were always together. We believe thwe were truly blessed with the most loving, devoted mother and best friend; who was always there for us. As happy as she was being a wife and mother, her greatest joy was being a grandmother. She leaves wonderful memories for grandchildren: Suzanne, Stacy, Robbie, Lindsie, Lacey and Melissa. Her blessings were multiplied by her great grandchildren: Zachary, Alyson, Shelby, Drew, Jake, Chloe, Maigan, Robbie, Jack, Finley, Karly, and Kyle. She is survived by her loving husband Frank; her children: Wayne (Mary), Gloria (Logan) and Kay.
