Melissa Dawn McCraney 36, was born July 21 1983 at Akron City Hospital to the loving parents Kimberly and Ronnie Collins. Melissa grew up with her brother Justin Collins whom she loved unconditionally. She and Justin both attended Barberton High School. Melissa was a loving mother to her five wonderful children, and if you know them all individually you know the uniqueness of the love she instilled in them. Melissa had a strong love for music. It was a way of expression for her. She loved to sing and you couldn't tell her she wasn't blowing when she sang a song. One of her favorite hobbies was spending time with her brother Justin and mother Kimberly watching movies and having very deep conversations. Melissa loved her some Pepsi, and she also enjoyed hanging out with her children, grandchildren, and friends. Melissa McCraney was loved by an abundance of people.

We thank you all for the love and support! Condolences may be sent to 833 Work Dr., Akron, OH 44320.
