In memory of

Melanie Anne Beechinor

September 9, 1962 - May 8, 2021

It is with a heavy and broken heart that we announce the passing of Melanie Anne Beechinor. She suddenly departed her loving family on May 08, 2021 at her residence at the age of 58. She was a proud mother, devoted grandmother and kind friend.

She was born in Toronto to John and Barbara Beechinor and enjoyed growing up in Don Mills area. She enjoyed figure skating, Judo, swimming and horseback riding. In her youth, Melanie attended Woodbine School and St Joseph's Catholic school. Her post-secondary education took her to York University where she received her Bachelor’s degree in Sociology in 1986. Retired after many years in insurance industry, she valued being independent while she was always supporting family and friends.

She will be lovingly remembered by her daughter, granddaughter, son in law and friends. She is survived by her daughter, Cara, and her granddaughter, Eva.

Services will be held at Mount Pleasant Cemetery, Cremation & Funeral Centres on May 20, 2021 at 1:45 pm.

Melanie and I were friends from childhood when we lived next door to each other.

When I get married many years ago she made the trip from Canada to Australia to celebrate with us. It made my day extra special having her there.

I had the joy of reconnecting with Melanie when I was in Toronto in 2019. We spent several days together exploring and reconnecting.

We shared so many wonderful times together both as children and again in 2019.

Sending my love to Cara and Eva in their sad loss xx

I met Melanie through Judith, when we were in junior high school. I had the good fortune of seeing her again about two years ago. I will remember Melanie's gentle, pleasant personality. She will be missed by many. My sincere condolences.

Melanie received me in her family with open arms! She was always eager to learn more about me, my family, and my country. She was always so sweet and cheerful!
