In Memory of Sophie Marie Thompson
November 5,1987-August 15, 2026

Sophie Marie Thompson, 38, of Cleveland passed away at home surrounded with love. Survived by her loving mother and devoted caregiver Mary N. Corrigan, her stepfather John J. McKinney, her grandmother Judy Corrigan, her siblings Sean M. Corrigan (Sharie Renee), Robert S., Peter N. and Sally A. and Kayliegh Thompson (Steve Pawlowski), 7 nephews and a niece, and many aunts, uncles, cousins and very dear friends. Preceded in death by her father Scott M. Thompson and her grandparents The Rev. Judge William H. Corrigan, Sally Thompson and James Thompson, and Helen T. and Joseph E. McKinney. Her Uncles Jim Thompson, Michael Corrigan, Bill Corrigan and Jim McKinney and her Aunts Meg Corrigan and Patty Cunningham. Interment will be private.

Sophie was an artist at heart. She had been studying for a degree in art therapy before illness prevented her from continuing. Sophie loved to draw and paint; she also enjoyed the artistry of a well-prepared meal. Food was her love language, and she had an uncanny ability to recall meals from days gone by with a great level of detail. Sophie was also, somewhat incongruously, a talented mechanic. Even after losing her eyesight, Sophie was uncannily adept at diagnosing a car’s issues just by listening to the sound of the engine, the pumping of the brakes, or the squeal of the tires. Perhaps her most memorable skill was as a devoted caregiver to her grandfather, whose injuries suffered in World War II eventually left him wheelchair-bound and in need of 24-hour care in the final years of his life. Many visitors to her grandparents’ home witnessed her loving and patient care of her grandfather, and the inimitable conversations they shared between themselves. Indeed, Sophie had a knack for inspiring allegiance in family and friends alike, with her droll wit and her unique conversational style, along with her talent for taking a topic to unexpected places.

Her artistic taste informed her fandom of movies. Her favorite actor was Nicolas Cage; she collected all his films. She also had a lifelong love of listening to Harry Potter books on tape and later years on audiobook. Sophie loved her stuffed bear collection; and as a child was photographed with all her bears surrounding her and taking up half the living room. Sophie was also a devoted cat lover; she adopted her father’s cat Rex when he died and had other pet cats over the years most recently Emily and Elizabeth until her passing.

Sophie had an innate curiosity; even as a child, she was incessantly inquisitive. Sophie never met a boundary she would not cross, a question she wouldn’t ask, and never met a custom she would not break. Sophie was simply unforgettable to anyone who knew her. Our world will never be the same without her.

In Memory of Roberta "Bobbi" Brown, a beloved wife, devoted mother, cherished grandmother, and a friend to many, peacefully departed this world on September 3, 2026, at Rae-Ann of Westlake under the tender care of Novalis Hospice.

Born on September 17, 1946, in Toledo, Ohio, Bobbi lived a life full of love, laughter, and dedication to her family and community. Bobbi was the cherished daughter of Michael "Mike" and Dorothy Nowak. She grew up surrounded by the warmth of her siblings, though she was predeceased by Patricia, Michael, Robert, Cheryl, and Daniel. Bobbi is lovingly remembered by her surviving siblings, Rebecca Erd, Colleen "Cookie" Zhurakovski, James (Galina) Nowak, and William Nowak.

A graduate of Woodward High School in Toledo, Bobbi was an enterprising spirit who owned her own cleaning business. Her work extended to new home construction, commercial businesses, and residential homes. After retiring, she dedicated her time to being the doting grandmother she was known to be, delighting in babysitting her grandchildren and attending their school and sports events.

On November 14, 1980, Bobbi married the love of her life, Larry Brown. Together they created a beautiful blended family, merging Bobbi's two daughters with Larry's three children, forming a close-knit family of seven. Her children, Tracey (Joe) Delis, Kris (Joe) Bowman, Tina (Jim) Fairley, Keith (Timia) Brown, and Greg (Jessica) Brown, were her pride and joy. Bobbi's legacy continues with her ten grandchildren: Tyler (Jamie), Megan, Caitlyn, Erika, Hannah, Breanna, Joey, Jena (Dillon), Evan, and Isabella, who brought her immense happiness and fulfillment.

Bobbi's zest for life extended beyond her family. She was an avid sports fan, cheering passionately for the Cleveland Guardians, The Ohio State Buckeyes, and the Las Vegas Golden Knights. Her love for excitement and thrill was also evident in her visits to the racehorses and the slot machines, where she spent many enjoyable hours.

Family will receive friends to pay tribute to and celebrate the life of Roberta at The DeJohn-Flynn-Mylott Funeral Home of Willoughby Hills, 28890 Chardon Road (between Bishop Rd. and Rt. 91), Sunday, September 6th, from 1-4pm. Inurnment Services Private.

The family expresses their deepest gratitude to Rae-Ann Westlake and Novalis Hospice for their compassionate care and support during Bobbi's final months. In Iieu of flowers, they kindly request that donations in Bobbi's memory be made to a charity of one's choice.

Bobbi's laughter, kindness, and unwavering love will be deeply missed but fondly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her. Her family takes comfort in the many happy memories they shared and the love that will continue to surround them.

In Memory of Denise Melinz.

With roots in France, Denise Henriette Marianne Melinz shared a love, grace, and strength that became the heart of her family.

Born on December 7, 1931, in Algeria, then a French colony on the Mediterranean coast, Denise later moved to France with her mother and siblings. At age 17, she traveled to England as a nanny, becoming fluent in English before returning to France, where she worked as an interpreter at the American military base in Châteauroux. There she met Bruno Melinz, who was serving in the U.S. Air Force. They married and built a life together in the United States.

Denise was the devoted mother of Philip (Cheryl), Bruno Jr., Jackie (Bob), and Joanne (Bob); cherished grandmother of Ryan, Bobby (Erin), Frankie (Laura), Michael, and Annie (Mike); and proud great-grandmother of Harlow, Holden, Dru, and Nina.

A longtime member of La Maison Française in Cleveland, Denise remained deeply connected to her French heritage throughout her life. She found joy in painting, reading, writing, cooking, walking, and hosting family gatherings. A devout Catholic, she lived with quiet faith, kindness, resilience, and an easy laugh.

Among her family's most treasured memories are the many trips to France, where she shared her culture, traditions, and love of family. Whether enjoying summers by the sea, celebrating French holidays, preparing family recipes, or teaching the simple pleasures of French life, Denise created memories that will always be cherished.

She will be remembered for her gentle spirit, love of family and the warmth she brought to every gathering.
