Melissa Anderson, age 55 passed away peacefully at her group home residence in Dracut on December 19, 2024 following a cancer diagnosis this past September.
She was born in Lowell on November 25, 1969, the daughter of Robert Anderson of Tewksbury and Pamela (Paczosa) Anderson of Dracut.
Melissa lived in a group home in Dracut where she enjoyed listening to music, playing her small piano and shovel. She looked forward to daily involvement in the Lifelinks/Incompass Day Program. Melissa loved visits from her parents, especially on her birthday when her father brought her a birthday cake and Christmas when he brought a thank you cake an shrimp cocktail for all.
Surviving Melissa besides her parents is her stepmother Penny Anderson; a brother Robert Anderson, Jr. of Hudson, NH; a stepbrother Matthew Kydd and family of Stow; and a niece Charlotte Anderson of Nashua, NH.
She was predeceased by her paternal grandparents Gus and Marian Silin, and maternal grandparents Joseph and Elizabeth Paczosa.
Her family would like to sincerely thanks all of the staff at Incompass Human Services (formerly Lifelinks) for their care and love over the years and a special thank you to Tufts Medicine Care at Home for their compassionate care and kindness during this difficult time.
Private funeral services were held and burial was in Westlawn Cemetery.
