Melody Joy Mooney
Melody Joy Mooney, beloved mother, wife, sister and friend passed away on Wednesday, February 26, 2025. In accordance with her wishes, cremation has taken place. Expressions of sympathy may be shared with the family on Melody’s tribute wall at detroitcremationsociety.com.
Melody was born on March 12th, 1962. She was married to Greg Mooney for 32 years. Eldest daughter is Miranda Mooney-Ananich, husband Wesley Ananich, daughters Shannon and Kaleyjoy Mooney, sister Mary Titus.
Melody graduated from Flint, Northern. She was in their marching band and played the flute. She went to Elim bible college. She toured with Thurlow Spurr in the 80’s.
Melody loved to travel with her husband. They spent every weekend together in their favorite convertible Cadillac taking long drives with her husband. Some of their favorite places to vacation were Mackinac Island and Florida.
Melody always made it known her greatest joy and accomplishment were her three girls. She’s proud of each and every one of them. If anyone ever had a minute she’d show them millions of photos and tell stories about each girl!
Melody was a breast cancer survivor and was not shy about sharing her faith and what got her through those hard times. She was so very generous. She shared her blessings with many. She was a cheerful and selfless giver.
She was proud to work at Kearsley schools for many years. She loved working with the children and was like a second mother to many. Melody loved being a mother more than anyone. Raising her kids and being a part of their lives was her greatest joy. She never let her children experience a moment alone growing up.
Melody was a wonderful wife, an irreplaceable mother, and a beloved friend whose spirit will stay with us forever.
Preceded in death by her mother, Virginia Titus, her father, Bruce Titus, and her brothers, Jerry and Paul Titus.
She will be forever loved and missed.

Let the family know you care by sharing this tribute.
RIP dear friend. You are deeply loved and missed!
Melody, you will be so missed.
We met through a cat needing home thst you rescued from a neighbor who did not and was not caring for any of its animals. You cared for your family deeply even the felines in your home and those you rescued. You left a mark on everyone your kindness and passion touched. Sending my family love from afar by-way of snack boxes giftcards- you loved us very well and made me feel seen, heard, and important. I am going to miss your words of hope and encouragement so much. My heart breaks quadruple-amounts as I imagine the sorrow your husband & girls feel now. Melody, thank you for caring for everything you did. Thank you for loving your family & friends so awesomely. No tears in heaven- I’m counting on God’s promise and missing you from afar!
I still remember being at Bible school together at Elim and how nice it was to have someone there who I knew from my own home Church. Beth and I are so sad about this. We hate seeing such a wonderful wife and mother taking home to be with the Lord at such a young age. We will miss her.
Oh my word! I am absolutely heartbroken to see this. So very sorry to hear this. Our thoughts and prayers to Greg, girls, Mary Lynn and all her family and friends.
🙏✝️💔

Melody played the flute in the band at Trinity Assembly of God and that’s how my brother Hughie and I got to know her plus she was part of our youth group. I will be praying for her family. See you on the other side Melody.

Melody was always so kind and loving. She was also funny. She loved to talk about her family and asked about mine. We shared the same wedding date so she would reach out through Facebook on that day. She gave the biggest hugs. She will be misses!
