    Her Story

    [/vc_column_text][vc_column_text css=””]Melissa Deanne Lamesch, 27, lifelong Mt. Morris resident, died unexpectedly in her home Wednesday, November 25, 2020 with her unborn son. Born May 10, 1993 in Rockford, the daughter of Gustave Lamesch III and Deanna (Shedd) Lamesch.

    Melissa was a 2011 graduate of Oregon High School, attended Roosevelt University in Chicago, Northern Illinois University, Rock Valley College and Elgin Community College. She was a 2020 graduate of the Swedish-American EMS Paramedic class.

    Melissa was employed as an EMT by Trace Ambulance Service in Tinley Park and hosted Trivia Nights for Pub Trivia USA. She was a long-time employee of Sullivan’s Foods. Melissa was a member of St. Mary Catholic Church, Oregon and Faith Lutheran Church of Forreston. Growing up, she was part of Girl Scout Troop 480, and Circle M 4-H; as well as the Oregon High School Student Council, Color guard, and Bowling team.

    Melissa is survived by her father, Gustave Lamesch III of Mt. Morris; mother, Deanna Lamesch of Malta; siblings: Cassie (Justin) Baal of Normal, Karl Lamesch of Malta, Bryan Lamesch of Malta and Julialyn Shedd of Malta; paternal grandmother, Mary Lamesch of Wheaton; maternal grandmother, Diane Shedd of Malta; nephews, Kolbe & Mayson Baal; and niece and goddaughter, Maddison Baal.

    Preceded in death by her paternal grandfather, Gustave Lamesch, Jr and maternal grandfather, Daniel Shedd.

    Melissa was obsessed over her cat, Antonio. She was known for her tremendously unique smile, always arriving fashionably late, and her love of eating and napping. Everything was done in her perfectionistic ways and always in true “Melissa Fashion”. She was unapologetically herself.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][vc_column width=”1/3″][vc_column_text css=”” el_class=”profile-links-header”]
