Melodie Colene (Farren) Smith, 53, passed away in the comforts of her Saegertown home on Monday, Jan. 19, 2015.

Formerly of Oil City, Melodie (Mel) relocated to Saegertown in 2005, where she lived with and cared for her husband, Floyd J. Smith, and mother, Delores J. (Erwin/Farren/Clark) Sloop. Born Feb. 25, 1961, Mel was a graduate of Cranberry Senior High School in Seneca.

Melodie maintained a genuinely kind and caring spirit, readily willing to give her all to family and friends in need. She employed her creativity through designing artworks, using recycled materials as her medium. Mel also enjoyed crocheting and recently completed an afghan for a charity fundraiser. Her selfless service was best exemplified through her social volunteer work with West Mead 2 Volunteer Fire Department. She was also a member of West Mead 2 Auxiliary. Mel actively supported our veteran’s community, holding memberships with Saegertown American Legion Post 205, Cambridge Springs American Legion Post 381 and Venango Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 168.

She was preceded in death by her father, Albert L. Farren; and niece, Audreanna E. Albaugh.
