Melanie Cercek

May 11, 1943 - November 26, 2021

Melanie Anne Cercek, age 78, who loved to be called Nana by her grandchildren, passed on to the lord, November 26th, one day shy of her 56th wedding anniversary. She passed on with her husband and family members by her side. Melanie was born on May 11, 1943 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to Stanley and Melania (Dobran) Bennett. A nurse by training, she put others before herself and always advocated for those in a tough situation. Melanie was passionate about animals and the love they provide, especially her two dogs Josie and Jaeger. She was truly a glass half-full person (unless you were talking politics)! Melanie is survived by her husband John, sister Shirlyn Kurz, three children Phil (Cheryl), Rob (Fran), Elizabeth and her four grandchildren Alex, Jessie, Gavin, Avery and aunt Dolly Bennett. Mom, you will be missed more than we could hope to convey in so few words! Friends may visit at the Coyle Funeral Home, 1770 S. Reynolds Road on Friday, December 3rd from 4:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. where a Scripture Service will be recited at 7:00 p.m. Funeral Services will be held on Saturday, December 4th beginning at 9:15 a.m., in the mortuary, followed by a Funeral Mass at Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church at 10:00 a.m. Interment will take place at a later date.
