Melanie Dennis(1949 - 2016)
Melanie Ann Haldas Dennis
1949-2016
Never was there a woman with a greater heart. Loved by all who met her and cherished by her family, Mel was taken from us on June 7, 2016 after a valiant battle with brain cancer.
Born in Houston, TX on June 20, 1949 to Frances and Joseph Haldas, Mel loved dancing, cooking, sewing, British History, all things science fiction and fantasy, and correcting bad grammar. She adopted everyone she came across (cat, dog, and human alike), and her family and her pets were her world. She was an avid bibliophile and lover of the English language, spent the last 20 years teaching English at Lone Star College- Montgomery and The Conroe Center, and would happily proofread anything you put in front of her. Sorry about the commas, mom.
She is survived by her husband of 46 years, James Dennis; their son, R.J. Dennis; daughter and son-in-law, Katie and Adam Holwell; sister and brother-in-law, Melissa and Jay Hachen; nephews, Matthew and Joseph Hachen; aunt, Irene Haldas; numerous cousins and many friends.
Visitation will take place on Saturday, June 11, 2016 from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm at Earthman Resthaven Funeral Home. A Celebration of Life will be held Sunday, June 12, 2016 at 2:00 pm in the chapel of Earthman Resthaven Funeral Home, with inurnment to follow at a later date.
