Obituary of Melissa Marie Wallin

WALLIN, Melissa, 33, of Land O’ Lakes, Florida died peacefully at home Sunday, September 11, 2011. She was born in St. Paul, MN and moved to Florida, in 1995 with her mother, Patricia. A debilitating mental illness and other health ailments riddled her life, but her love of God, her hearty laughter, love of the bible, newspaper and music never grew dim. She is now “set free” in the care of the loving arms of God, her Savior. Preceded in death by her grandparents, Albert and Eunice Rogowski and Raymond and Betty Wallin. Survived by her mother, Patricia Wallin of Land O’ Lakes and father, Robert of Flagstaff, AZ; stepmother, Dagny. Also, survived by her brother, Michael Wallin and his wife, Jennifer; nieces and nephew, Mikaela, Nathan and Sidney of Forest Lake, MN; beloved aunts and uncles, Laura Lackner and her husband, Thomas; Lonnie Rogowski and his wife, Susie; Robert F. Rogowski; Gene Scow and his wife, Vicky; Brinda Rogowski; and many cousins and other family members. A memorial and celebration of Melissa’s life will take place, at a later date, in her hometown of St. Paul, MN.
