Melissa Stuchins passed away peacefully on February 10, at the age of 47 with her parents and brother at her side.  She was a resident of Framingham, Massachusetts and formally of Natick, Massachusetts.  Melissa was a graduate of Natick High School class of 1992 and a graduate of Framingham State College class of 1996.  She was born with Neurofibromatosis and was diagnosed with hydrocephalus at age 5 undergoing numerous surgeries, procedures and shunt revisions in her lifetime.  Throughout all these challenges she was respected and admired by family and friends for her grit, tenacity, and her ability to fight.

Melissa was an avid reader, learning how to read at a very young age, she never could put a good book down.  She was a compassionate and caring daughter, sister, aunt and friend who found a passion for food and cooking later in life. Losing her older brother to cancer when she was just twelve years old, Melissa took tremendous pride in participating in numerous Jimmy Fund walks, walking half marathons to raise money and awareness for Cancer Fundraising and Research.  She loved being an 80’s kid, watching her favorite shows, listening to Billy Joel and taking pride in attending nineteen of his concerts.  She loved her nieces and nephew, and they will always remember her wanting to play games, take selfies and show them new games on her phone.

Melissa was preceded in death by her brother Alan and is survived by her parents Marion and Burt, brother Michael, his wife Melissa, nieces Abby and Izzy and nephew Ethan.  Melissa will forever be remembered and missed by all who loved her.
