Jo-Anne Marie Melland

Jo-Anne Marie (Clarke) Melland (May 13, 1959 - January 1, 2024)

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the sudden passing of Jo-Anne Marie Melland, a beloved daughter, sister, and friend, who departed from this world on January 1, 2024, in Point Roberts, Washington. Jo-Anne was known for her vibrant spirit, infectious laughter, and her loyalty to those that she cared about the most.

Born on May 13, 1959, in Edmonton, Alberta, Jo-Anne was a free spirit who lived life on her own terms. She was known for her mischievous sense of humour which endeared her to all who knew her. Jo-Anne has spent a lifetime full of adventure and has made home in many cities across both the United States and Canada.  She spent her last several years in the community of Point Roberts, where she has wove many close friends and relationships.

In honouring Jo-Anne, let us celebrate the joy she brought into our lives and the love she shared with all who knew her. May her spirit continue to live on in our hearts, inspiring us to embrace life with the same enthusiasm and passion that she did.

Jo-Anne’s friends are invited to join her family in Point Roberts at Lily Point Beach to scatter her ashes on Sunday, February 25 at 2 PM.  A small reception will follow at the Saltwater Cafe at 3 PM.
