Melia Azariah Boddy

Riah/Melia is a beautiful soul. She was very imaginative and loved to take her visions to create art in any and all mediums. Singing was a comfortable place for her, where she could express her soul and have fun. From a young age, it was very clear that she was a cook. She could make almost anything delicious. She was vibrant and real, bold and sassy, clever and witty, tough and so very shy and sensitive. She was an adventurous, wild spirit who was not afraid to dig into the deep realm of herself. She saw beauty wherever beauty could be found, and she was literally one of the funniest people ever. She loved and cared about everyone in her life and wanted to create meaningful connections. Her smile was warm, and her hugs were sincere.

Riah was preceded in death by her father, Jeffrey Boddy a year ago. Riah is painfully and lovingly survived by her mom, Kelly Thompson-Boddy; grandparents Patti & Richard Heltsley, Cody & Cheryl Thompson, Kathy & Butch Acree, Verne & Linda Boddy; She also leaves behind many loving aunts, uncles, cousins and friends.
