Melody Jean Fitzgerald 72, unexpectedly passed away on February 13, 2025, at her home in Albuquerque New Mexico.
She is survived by her children, son Tyrone Fitzgerald, and daughter Demi Sebastian. As well as her brother Dale Crites. Melody was a wonderful person, passionate about sharing her love for the Lord and inspiring many lives over the years. She enjoyed spending time in her “she shed” working on jewelry and wind chimes for her garden. Although we are deeply saddened by our loss we understand that heaven has gained a beautiful soul.
There will be a celebration of life for her—the date and time to be announced.
