For the past 12 years, she called Chaska, MN home, along with her love, Lamar McCormick and her daughter. She worked at Cigna until August of this year.
Melanie enjoyed life! Whether it was taking trips to New Mexico, California or Arizona to visit friends, or enjoying concerts—recently seeing Aerosmith in Las Vegas, and Madonna in the cities—among others. Anything that Melanie did, she always had a good time—and everyone around her would, too. Her smile would light up any room. She was caring and compassionate to everyone she met.
Melanie is missed dearly and loved by everyone she touched in her life. Her surviving loved ones include her father, Jerry (Bucky) Hall, stepmother Denise Hall, much-loved "second mom" Eunice Slininger, grandparents Russell and Inez Kappes, life partner and teammate Lamar McCormick, daughter Madeline Wegge, sisters Shannon Hall (Kevin Westcott), Gretchen Hall, Janna Hall (Mathew Henkel), brothers Jarret Hall (Katerina Potts), Josh Hall, nephew Taylor Gunderson, and nieces Morgan Gunderson, Aurora Erstad and Ava Hall. She is also survived by many aunts, uncles, cousins, and extended family in Minnesota, North Dakota, and New York. Her memory also lives on in the hearts of her many other close friends that have been like family to her.
She joins her mother, Marilyn Lee, grandparents Bill and Clara Spennigsby, and grandparents DeWitt Hall and Janet Moos in everlasting peace.
