Alysson M. Melo

Born in New Bedford, she was the daughter of Maria Fatima (Mambuco) Melo and Robert M. Melo.

She was a graduate of Greater New Bedford Regional Vocational Technical High School, class of 2021.

Alysson loved to be with her mother, her father, her little brother named Justin, and she lived her life to make her older brother proud that passed away who was named Alex. Her biggest priority was trying to make her family proud, but she lived her life in her older brother’s name.

Alysson loved to be with her friends and family all day long. She loved to go shopping with her mom and talk to her about everything. She was always there for her little brother named Justin and always played games with him. She always went to the park with her mom and Justin. She loved to see her dad and go on rides with him to talk and get food. When she wasn’t with her family, she spent most of her days with her sister who was her best friend named Devyn. Her family and her friends were her life.

Alysson’s passion was art and she wanted to become a MUA (Make-Up Artist). She loved to spend time talking about everything with everyone especially her friends. Her favorite colors were pink, rose gold, and purple. She loved fashion, dressing up, and wearing makeup. Her favorite movie was “The Titanic”. She wanted to help people, make art, make music, make people happy, and she brought light to life. Her dream was to go to Paris and see the Eiffel Tower with her sister and best friend, Devyn and Devyn will go there for her with Alysson in her heart. Devyn will make her mark by putting our locks with our names on that one bridge because we’re sisters and these things were her dreams. Her dog named Simba was always there for her and gave her all the emotional support she needed. She made life beautiful, she loved music, and she was truly as beautiful as music, and every single sunset. She has the biggest heart and the whole world would be lucky to know her. Her beautiful heart, soul, and face will be missed by everyone. We all love you Alysson and we will always live in your name.
