Melissa was blessed with a beautiful baby girl, Mya Lynn Villasana, at the age of 18. Afterwards, Melissa began a career in bartending. She was a people person and known to be “the life of the party”. She was most known for her “ugly laugh” that everyone loved. Melissa met her life partner, Laron Smith and had their handsome baby boy, Legend Damarius Smith. She left behind her older sister Yasmine Villasana and best friend Julie. In her spare time, Melissa loved spending time with her children, family and friends. She had a personality that would light up the room and a sense of humor that made everyone laugh. Melissa was very beautiful and was taken from us too soon. She leaves everyone in good spirits and wouldn't want sadness. She'd say “I ain't here for a long time, I'm just here for a good time”.
