Melanie Sue Sherron

Melanie was born in Lima, Ohio on November 18th 1962 to Wayne E Morgan and C. Sue (Filbert) Morgan. 6 months later her family moved to Middletown, Ohio, where she resided for the rest of her life.

Melanie graduated from Middletown High School and earned her cosmetology license working in several local hair salons in Middletown including McAlpins and Great Expectations while attending the University Cincinnati, graduating in 1986 with her bachelor degree in business.

Early in her career she worked for several employers including Met Life Insurance. But Melanie found her true calling as an artist, utilizing the mediums of pottery, woodworking and painting among others, to express her unique sense of whimsy and joy. She was an original tenant at the Pendleton Art Center and continued her craft until her final illness.

Melanie’s two greatest passions were her faith in Jesus Christ as her savior and her family. She took great joy in cooking and baking wonderful meals for those she cared about. It was one of her ways of expressing her love for others.

She met James, the love of her life, and they were married for 33 wonderful years and were blessed to have three loving children, Nicholas, Luke and Allison. Melanie’s love for her family and her deep abiding faith stand as a testament to her life.

Melanie was preceded in death by her parents and brother in law, Jeffrey Sherron. She is survived by her beloved family: husband, Hon. James E. Sherron, sons, Nicholas and Luke and daughter and son in law, Allison and Austin Huff. She is also survived by her brother, Jon Morgan, sisters, Lori (Mike) Van Horn, M.D., Linda Morgan Kensington, M.D., Amy (Renard) Sharrett , sister in law, Jennifer (Ed) Hiteshue, and a host of nieces and nephews.

The family would like to thank Dr. Omer Hurlburt, III as well as Hospice of Butler and Warren counties for their wonderful care and support during this difficult time.
