Melissa C. Lehr

Melissa C. Lehr, age 55, of Anderson, went to be with Jesus on September 19, 2021 at Community Hospital in Anderson. She was born on July 12, 1966 to the late James and Carole Mathis.

Melissa was a major volunteer for Faith Church for many years. She was a social butterfly who thrived on being around people. She loved crafting and her family and friends never received a store-bought card from her. She was a people magnet, always having the best energy around her. She also volunteered at Outfitters in Pendleton and would make food for the police and fire stations on occasion. She loved children and babysitting was her gift, even if it wasn’t her kids. She was a wonderful mother, wife, grandma, and friend who will be deeply missed by all who knew and loved her.

Melissa is survived by her loving husband of 7 years, Tim Lehr; children Jeff Voiles of Greensburg, Ryan Tipton of Anderson, and Carl Lehr (Shelby) of Daleville; grandchildren Julianne, Isaiah, and Whitney; brothers Mark and Matt Mathis both of Columbus; and several nieces, nephews, and cousins.

She is preceded in death by her parents listed above and brother Michael Dean Mathis.

A Celebration of Life will be held at Faith Church at a later date. Cremation was handled through Legacy Cremation and Funeral Service – Anderson.
