It is with tremendous sadness that the family of Mélanie Delorme (née Prud’homme) announces her sudden passing on June 30, 2025, at the age of 31.
Born on June 25th, 1994 in Ottawa, Melanie exuded joy, beauty and strength and shared her love of life with all those around her. She was the beloved wife of Maxime and the devoted, proud mother of Élodie and Nathan.
Mélanie was happiest at home with her children—whether laughing over a game of cards or expressing her creativity through arts and crafts. Her family, and especially her children, were her reason for living. Music filled her heart, and her kindness lit up every room she entered.
She will be lovingly missed by her husband Maxime, her children Élodie and Nathan, her mother Diane, her brother Mathieu (April), her sister Karine (Éric), her brother-in-law Frédérick (Marie-France), and her nieces and nephews Olivier, Emmanuel, William, Naomie, and Emma. She is reunited in peace with her dearly loved father, Patrice.
We shall never forget her immense heart, her gentleness, and her unshakeable strength of character. Mélanie was always the first to offer help, and the last to ask for it. She lived with compassion, generosity, and a profound love for those around her.
Gone far too soon, Mélanie will live on forever in the hearts of those who had the privilege of knowing her. She will be deeply missed, always loved and never forgotten.
Visitations will be held at the Beechwood National Memorial Centre, 280 Beechwood Avenue, Ottawa, on Friday, July 18, 2025, from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. and 7:00 to 9:00 p.m., and on Saturday, July 19, starting at 9:00 a.m. A memorial service will follow in the Sacred Space of Beechwood at 10:00 a.m.

I am deeply saddened by the passing of Melanie, someone I had the privilege of working closely with over the past three years. Melanie was not only an incredibly hard worker and a dependable colleague, but she was also a truly good human being.
Her warmth, dedication, and kindness touched so many of us. Melanie had a genuine love for her family, and that love was evident in everything she did. Her face would light up whenever she spoke about her children — it was clear they were the center of her world.
Mel was full of life, a bright light in the lives of everyone who knew her. She brought energy, laughter, and compassion into the workplace, and her absence is felt deeply.
She will be dearly missed, but never forgotten. My heartfelt condolences go out to her family, friends, and all who had the joy of knowing her.

My condolences to Melanie’s family and friends. I did not know her but knew two of her close friend and always heard incredible stories of the king of person she was and the impact she had on others.
