Melinda passed peacefully at home on September 23, 2023, surrounded by her loving family after a brief battle with pancreatic cancer.  Born in Dallas, Texas to Donna and George Lyon on April 16, 1951, she was the second of four daughters. Growing up, she had a quiet independent nature and marched to the beat of her own drum. Early on, she developed a love of animals and the outdoors which would become part of her character and moniker that described who she was and how she lived her life.
