Melissa Ann Kirby

On Friday, October 18, 2024, Melissa Ann Kirby, 47, entered into eternal rest.

 Melissa Ann Kirby, born on November 10, 1976, in Kokomo, Indiana, touched the lives of all who knew her with her generous spirit. Melissa embodied the virtues of kindness and selflessness. She was the type of person who would willingly give the shirt off her back to help someone in need, always eager to serve others. She enjoyed her time spent at the beach where she could be found attempting to collect shark teeth along the shore. Melissa found joy in cooking and preparing meals for her family.

 Her memory will forever be treasured by her beloved husband of nine years, Chris Kirby and her daughter, Veronica Jacobsen; Chris’ children, Laura Sink (Dustin), Ashley Kirby, Brian Kirby (Ashley); three grandchildren. Melissa’s parents, Wayne Jacobsen and Janice Lipinski Jacobsen; siblings, Amber Prather (Troit), Laura O’Reilly (Shawn) and Erin Jacobsen; nieces and nephews, Gabriel Jacobsen, Ziva Prather, Isaac Prather, Gideon Prather, and a host of extended family.

Visitation with Melissa’s family will be Saturday, November 9, 2024, from 12:00 p.m. until 1:00 p.m. at McCullough Funeral Home with the celebration of life following at 1:00 p.m. in the chapel.
