Obituary For Melodie Bray
Melodie Ruth (Fraser) Bray, 70, of Virginia Beach, Virginia, passed away peacefully in her home after a long fought battle with pancreatic cancer on Monday, November 20th, 2023, surrounded by her loving family.
She was born on November 28, 1952 in Lowell, Massachusetts and is predeceased by her mother, Melodie Connolly, stepfather, Richard Connolly, and father, Robert Fraser.
Melodie enjoyed a lengthy career working for Virginia Beach City Public Schools as a baker/chef at White Oaks Elementary School. Creating lasting bonds with the children that came through her lunch line brought her immense joy. She enjoyed vigorous rounds of cards, watching her favorite game shows and all things music. Spending time with her family was her true and most important passion in life.
Melodie leaves behind 4 children: Paul Taylor and his wife Cari of Navarre, FL, Rebecca Langdon and her husband Larry of Pine Mountain, GA, Jennifer Brazenos and her husband Donald of Virginia Beach, VA, and Joseph Bray of Norfolk, VA. She also leaves behind her 6 grandchildren Adam, Seth, Kaylee, Courtney, Siren, and Sydney and 2 great-grandchildren, Hudson and Ellie.

I just found this page while searching for a few old friends from an earlier part of my life. I was saddened to read this as 2025 was going to be the year for me to try and locate those I missed. I knew Melodie during my first year of college. She was a very supportive person and knew how to be a true and good friend. I remember being sad when she left school because she lived so far away and the public transportation wasn't very good between where the two of us lived. Throughout my life I would think of Melodie from time to time and somehow I always thought I would see her again. Perhaps in another life? In the meantime, I'm certain there are many who were part of her life who will miss her. Pam Stone Hsieh
