Melinda's life roots were in Onion Lake as a wife, mother, and, for the first time, as a kokum.   Melinda contributed to the community through recreational activities as well as administrative skills.  Melinda and (late) Eddie had found each other and started a family until he passed in 2000.  Melinda then met Gildas Storm and relocated to Siksika, AB., where she and Gildas raised a blended family in Calgary, and then Siksika.  Melinda discovered her entrepreneurial gifting when she and Gildas founded a successful seasonal coffee stand.  Melinda continued to cater for the community through her sickness, providing the stampede with catering services.  She peacefully passed away in the home of her daughter on January 8, 2022.
