From the Family:
Melissa Beth Levitin, In Loving Memory....December 31, 1976 - January 27, 2008. On January 27th, 2008 the Beacon of light that was Lissa was prematurely extinguished. Left in the wake of such loss are her parents, Debra Hale, Mitch and Gayle Plessner, her brother Ari Plessner, and her sister Kat Plessner.
You might not have known that Melissa earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology. You might also not realize the perseverance with which she pursued this degree, graduating college at the age of 30; anyone who has gone back to college later in life will tell you that it's not an easy task. Through many trials and setbacks Melissa achieved part of her life's goal. She would have begun her masters program in 2009.
A fiercely independent woman, never wishing to impose on anyone, and never hesitating to help those who asked. All who knew her will tell you that the loss of this shining light is no less than tragic. She is loved and missed by all who knew her.
She was type 1 diabetic and passed away from Addison's disease. Melissa was a 1994 graduate of Burbank High School, Burbank, California
