Melissa White

Administrative Assistant, Certified Cremation Specialist, Certified Crematory Operator

As an Administrative Assistant Extraordinaire, Melissa is also a Certified Crematory Operator and a Certified Cremation Specialist. Having joined Cremation By Grandview in early 2022, she brings 18+ years of administrative and secretarial experience. Born and raised in central New York State not far from the Finger Lakes, Melissa finds Blount County to be very reminiscent of her childhood surroundings. After losing her husband Donald in 2021, she feels blessed to be able to help families through one of the most difficult times in their lives. Melissa enjoys spending time with her college-aged son, walking her dogs – Jemma with a J and Oliver with an O, doing word search puzzles, and watching “Good Mythical Morning” on YouTube. Two of her favorite movies are “It’s a Wonderful Life” and “The Princess Bride.” When not time traveling or training her dragon, Melissa enjoys making people laugh, and she believes that every day can be made better with a slice (or two) of pie.
