Melinda Boone

Melinda Ruth Boone, 65, of Poinciana, Florida, passed away peacefully at home surrounded by family on May 9, 2025. Born in Hoboken, New Jersey, Melinda was a woman of unwavering faith, joyful spirit, and deep compassion. Her faith grounded and sustained her throughout her life and into her passing. She was an active and devoted member of Northridge Church in Haines City, Florida, where she found strength in worship and fellowship. Melinda was also a passionate prayer leader and member of the Energizing Christian Women's Connection of Solivita, the Girlfriends of Solivita, and a spiritual anchor to many in her community. Melinda is survived by her beloved sons, Bryan Niedzwiecki and his wife Amanda of Coatesville, Pennsylvania, and Daniel Niedzwiecki and his wife Blain of Orlando, Florida. She was a proud and devoted grandmother to Olivia (13), Emma (10), Charlie (7), Skylar (5), and Sophia (2), who brought her immense joy and love. She is also survived by her loving mother, Rose Ann Boone of Stroudsburg, Pennsylvania; her brother Joseph Boone and his wife Gretchen of DeLand, Florida; and her sister Cheryl Strunk and husband Kevin of Blakeslee, Pennsylvania. Melinda leaves behind a large extended family of aunts, uncles, cousins as well as cherished nieces, nephews, grandnieces, and grandnephews, all of whom felt her love and encouragement. She was preceded in death by her father, Daniel J. Boone of Stroudsburg Pa, and her maternal grandparents, Charles and Mildred Kosbab of Hoboken NJ and her paternal grandparents Henry and Helen Boone of Avoca, Pa. Melinda found joy in the simple and magical things in life. She loved everything Disney—especially visiting the parks with her family and grandchildren—dancing, decorating, and celebrating life. She was often seen riding in her cheerfully decorated golf cart during Solivita parades, spreading joy wherever she went. Her vibrant spirit and loving nature touched the lives of all who knew her especially those in her circle of friends. Melinda’s legacy is one of faith, friendship, family, and fun. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered. Melinda will be remembered in a Celebration of Life on June 7th 2025 at the Venezia Clubhouse, 100 Rialto Road, Solivita. Family and Friends are welcome. In lieu of flowers, the family welcomes donations to The Mustard Seed of Central Florida, 12 Mustard Seed Lane, Orlando, Fl 32810 and The American Cancer Society, P.O.
