Melissa Lee Morgan, affectionately known as Mel, Lissy, or Miss-Lissa, passed away on July 26, 2025, in Pleasant Gap, PA, at the age of 47. 

Born on December 31, 1977, in Phoenix, AZ, Melissa carried the warmth of her birthplace throughout her life, touching all who knew her with her radiant personality and steadfast loyalty. 

Melissa was a person whose heart was truly devoted to her friends and family. Known for her unwavering loyalty, she was a friend who was always "all in," ready to support her loved ones through thick and thin. Her vibrant spirit was complemented by her creative passion, particularly for arts and crafts. 

Recently, she had taken up the art of designing and creating beautiful bows, a hobby that brought her much joy. Melissa also enjoyed shopping, binge watching her favorite shows with her closest friends, frequenting casinos for a bit of people watching, and most of all, attending NASCAR races with her son, Derrick; which was her favorite pastime.

She is survived by her only son, Derrick Morgan, who was the light of her life and her steadfast companion at many NASCAR events. 

Melissa was preceded in death by her mother, Ms. Diana Morgan, and her life partner & absolute love of her life, Mr. Raymond Ramos; all three of whom she loved deeply and beyond mere words.

Melissa's memory will be cherished in the hearts of all who knew her, as a beacon of love, creativity, and enduring friendship.
