Carolyn Virginia Tiffany-Melville

“Carolyn Shoemaker (Tiffany) (Melville) went home to Jesus on November 4, 2026. She was born on August 24, 1939. She was married to Eugene W. Tiffany and had four children. She is survived by her children, Susan Tiffany (Hon) (Dennis Hon), Patricia Tiffany (Pollard), James Tiffany (Lisa Tiffany), William Tiffany, her 15 grandchildren, 15 great grandchildren, and 1 great great grandchild.

She was an avid China painter and went to Rock Valley for art. She was a wonderful grandmother who loved having sleepovers and took care of two granddaughters while their mother was serving in Desert Storm.

She cared for her beloved husband of 36 years through his ALS diagnosis and his last days. She found love again with her now late husband Ronald Melville who she adored for 21 years. They loved their travels to the south in the winter.

She had a great sense of humor, was incredibly strong, well-loved and had lifelong friends, including Lillian Gibbons and Pat Eastham, whom she cherished. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.”
