of Vilonia, AR

February 4, 1967 - January 8, 2022

The world has lost one of its most precious people, Melanie Linn Dace Gordon. She was born on February 4th, 1967, in Conway, Arkansas, to Robbie Linn Dace and the late Douglas Dace. She passed away on Saturday, January 8th, 2022.

Melanie married the love of her life, Stanley Gordon Jr., on October 5th, 1990, and raised four beautiful children, Seth, Lydia, Luke, and Hannah. In Stanley's words, Melanie loved her family, she loved her friends, she loved her Church family, and she loved her community.

Melanie always had a smile on her face, lit up whatever room she was in, and always made sure everyone had the best before herself. She cherished her friendships made through Bunco, iWalk, Heartfelt Moms, book clubs, and her kids' sporting events, making everyone around her feel like her best friend. Even in the hardest days of her cancer treatment, she thought of others, preparing meals and quilting for her family and those she loved.

She spent countless days at the ball fields cheering on her kids, reading her favorite novels, frequenting the theater, and completing marathons with her iWalk girls. She was always up for anything, taking many fun vacations with her kids, nieces, and nephews, even with only a moment's notice.

Melanie is survived by her loving husband, Stanley Gordon Jr., son Seth and wife Abbie of Conway, daughter Lydia of Conway, son Luke and wife Kelsey of Vilonia, daughter Hannah of Vilonia, mother Robbie Linn Dace of Conway, brother Keith Dace and wife Shelly of Oklahoma City, brother Harold Dace and wife Stefanie of Conway, along with many aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, beloved family members, and cherished friends.

Though she wore invisible wings here on earth, they are now big and beautiful wings, with no pain or discomfort. She was the most incredible angel and will be missed.

Visitation will be from 6pm to 8:30pm Wednesday, January 12, 2022 at Robinson and Center Church of Christ in Conway. Funeral services will be held at 11AM on Thursday at Robinson and Center Church of Christ. Burial will follow at Cypress Valley Cemetery.

In lieu of flowers the family ask that memorial donations be made to the Vilonia Senior Citizens Center and/or the Vilonia Disaster Recovery Alliance.
