Born in American Fork on April 3, 1986, Melissa’s life was one of love, family, adventure, and service.
Melissa met her soulmate, Errol Flynn, during high school, and their love story blossomed into a lifelong partnership. They were sealed for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake City Temple shortly after they turned 19.
Melissa pursued her passion for beauty and aesthetics, earning her cosmetology license and enhancing lives by making people feel beautiful. Her adventurous spirit led her to a fulfilling career as a flight attendant, allowing her and Errol to explore the globe for a decade. Their adventures eventually started a new chapter with the welcoming of their children into the world.
Melissa’s life was rich with passions and hobbies that ranged from travel to culinary arts, fitness, and yoga. She had a profound love for the ocean, boating and embraced every opportunity to be near the water. An avid reader and enthusiast of World War II history, Melissa’s curiosity and zeal for learning were contagious.
In her professional life, Melissa was known for her dedication, attention to detail, and care in the beauty and travel industries, where she left a permanent mark over 14 years.
Melissa leaves behind a loving family whom she was passionate about: her husband Errol; children Holland (7), Lincoln (6), Theodore (4), and Navy (2); her parents, Diane and Doug Pope; siblings Ben (Tabby), Ryan, Janice (Lane) Morrison, Sara (Miles) Richards, Preston (Ashley), and Erica; in-laws John and Pamela Flynn; and siblings-in-law Eowyn, John, and Connor (Rachel) Flynn.
Melissa's life will be honored with viewings on Friday, April 5th, from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, and a brief viewing on Saturday, April 6th, from 09:00 AM to 10:00 AM, at 1102 South Center Street, Midway, Utah 84049.
Her funeral and Celebration of Life will take place on Saturday, April 6th, at 120 W Main St, Midway, UT, starting at 11:00 AM.
Melissa believed that “The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page.” Her adventurous spirit and loving nature touched many lives, and she understood that fear determines the boundaries of our freedom and that we should say yes to life.
Melissa’s legacy is a tapestry of love, joy, and unending adventure, leaving a lasting impact on all who had the pleasure of knowing her, and her memory will continue to inspire and guide us all.
