Melanie Botticello-Pikula of Clark NJ passed away at her home on Monday, June 17,2024. She fought a long battle with Huntington's Disease. Melanie was born to Karen and Vito Botticello on July 31, 1974. Melanie was the beloved wife to Jamie, proud mother of twins, Emmalie and Zachery, and sister to Vito and Jason.
On February 23, 2001, she married the love of her life, Jamie Pikula. The ceremony at St. Michaels Church marked the beginning of a life shared. Their love and devotion continued to grow.
Melanie enjoyed working at MotoPhotos where she “developed” a love for photography. Her next adventure was a job at Schering Plough as a Warehouse High Rise Computer Operator, where she met her future husband. Conversations soon revealed that they actually knew each other all their lives. The relationship would grow throughout the years.
A call from Catholic Charities opened the door for her next career opportunity as an Administrative Assistant. Melanie graduated from Union County College with an associate degree with a para legal certification.
She loved scrapbooking, traveling with her family, camping in the Wading pines and reading the wisdom of Winnie the Pooh and the adventures of Harry Potter.
Visitation for Melanie will be held on Tuesday, June 25,2024 from 3:00pm-7:00pm at Krowicki McCracken Funeral Home. 2124 East Saint George Ave. Linden NJ 07036.
