SKOWHEGAN — Melody M. Waldron, 58, died unexpectedly, Thursday, July 8, 2021, at her home.

While growing up in Spruce Head and Thomaston, Melody attended local schools and Georges Valley High School in Thomaston. She attended Stonehill College in Easton, Massachusetts and Graceland University in Boston, where she earned a B.A. as a Clinical Licensed Psychologist.

Peaslee of New Sharon, Elizabeth Stambaugh and her husband Mark of Appleton; a brother, William R. Waldron, Jr.; as well as several nieces, nephews, aunts, uncles and extended family members.
