Melanie Abendroth (McCutcheon)

It is with broken hearts that we announce the passing of our beloved Melanie, 70, who left us so unexpectedly on August 6. Melanie was a loving wife, sister, and friend who took on the role of surrogate Mom to us all. Her smile, her kindness, and her thoughtful listening ear will never be forgotten.

She leaves behind her husband Robert of Scarborough, her three brothers, Terrance, Marc, and Kevin, and sister-in-law Deanna, and brothers in-laws Skip and Tom and their wives Susan and Catherine, and Melanie's step children: Ethan and Betsy, along with a total of 20 nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by step-son Gabriel and brothers in-law Edward and Allen, and survived by their wives, Jane and Robin.

A viewing will be held at Hobbs Funeral Home in Scarborough from 3-5pm on Wednesday, August 14.
