Beth Ann Melichar, 52, passed away at home surrounded by her loving family on Wednesday, March 23, 2016. She was born on March 2, 1964 to John "Joe" and Linda (Wheeler) Aders. On June 29, 1996 she married Paul Melichar.
Beth worked as a designer/drafter for Dow Kokam. She was a member of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, where she also taught Sunday school and was involved in Midland's Bible Study Fellowship. Beth enjoyed running, walking, yoga, traveling, the outdoors, camping, canoeing, photography, music, education and reading to her children. She loved cooking, her yard, her flowers, her beloved animals, Anna the dog, Rocky the cat, and Percy the rabbit, and most of all spending time with family and friends.
She embraced every challenge placed in front of her. Those who knew Beth were very careful not to tell her that she couldn't do something.
Beth is survived by her husband, Paul; children, Hanna, Nicole and Andrew; and her mother, Linda Aders. She is also survived by her siblings, Bill (Jennifer) Aders, Brad (Kim) Aders, Bev (Keith) Traphagen; and many aunts, uncles, nieces and nephews. Beth Ann was preceded in death by her father, John "Joe" Aders.
A funeral service will take place at 10 a.m. Tuesday, March 29, 2016, at Assumption Blessed Virgin Mary Church, with Fr. Joseph Griffin officiating. Friends may visit with the family at the Smith-Miner Funeral Home on Monday, March 28, 2016, from 4-7 p.m., and at the church on Tuesday, from 9 a.m. until the time of service.
