Melissa Spearing NPD 2013

  • Categories Alumni Updates, Graduate News
  • Date September 16, 2024

On August 19th, not only did the Spearing family lose a daughter, sister, niece, and cousin, we also lost someone who spread her seeds across the globe. Melissa’s (aka Missy) passing was her own decision. As to why, we don’t yet fully know the answer and may never. Our hope is that she is happy and at peace where her trail has ended.

Missy was a lot of things to us and her family around the world. She was the food lover, the couch surfer, the 5-minute call lasting two hours, the tree hugger extraordinaire, the brilliant problem-solver, the student and the teacher, and the one you could always count on. She was truly one of a kind. We will forever miss her and the void she has left behind.
