Melisa Lynn Zopp

(nee Borino, formerly Bernard) Found peace on Tuesday, October 10, 2023 at the age of 46 after a short battle with cancer. She was born on March 1, 1977 in Aurora, IL. Beloved wife and best friend of Garrett Zopp. Loving mother of Parker Evan Zopp. Daughter of F. Bruce and Diane (Meier) Borino. Step-daughter of Cheryl Borino. Sister of Erica (Pat) Fisher, Cory (Ivy) Matthews, and Karinda Matthews. Proud Aunt of Kayla, Zachary, Tyler, Trevor, Blake, Tanner and Scarlett. Daughter-in-law, sister-in-law, niece, cousin, and friend to many. Preceded in death by beloved husband Stuart Bernard, maternal and paternal grandparents, as well as several other family members and friends.

Melisa loved adventures and the great outdoors: hiking, geocaching, gardening. She was an advocate for birds, bees and trees not only in her personal life but also in her profession of mapping for environmental consulting. And did we mention rocks? Yes, she loved geology. Her smile and laugh will continue to brighten rooms through the legacy she left behind, and even from above. Be at peace Missy. You are loved and missed now and forever.

In lieu of flowers, please plant trees and native flowers in your communities. Memorials appreciated to the trust fund of Parker Zopp.
