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.

Mélanie was bold, fierce, and full of love. A proud mother to Élodie and Nathan, a loving partner to her husband Max, and the kind of woman whose strength was contagious. She led with heart and lived out loud.
Her love, her fire, and her spirit will echo forever in her children, her family, and in all of us who were lucky enough to love her, even if only for a moment.

“May she find herself whole,
her laughter rolling like thunder.
May the light visit her often,
like the warmth of a mother’s palm.
May her leaving be soft—
a letting go, not a tearing away.
May she find rest
the way a flower does when it bows.
May we learn to speak her name
without our voices breaking.”
-Warsan Shire
We will carry her fire, always.

Mélanie, on a toujours prétendu être plus que cousines et je ressens ton absence du bas de mes pieds au haut de ma tête. Your essence and spunk will remain with me forever. Your strength and courage and the love you carried have forever marked and inspired me. When I think of you I think of your big squeezy hugs and the way they made me feel loved and cared for. I miss you. Je t’aime pour toujours!

Je t'envoie tout mon soutien et mon affection.
