In loving memory of Karen Mellish who sadly passed away on 15th June 2026.
Karen was a deeply loved Daughter, Mum, Sister, Auntie, and Nanna whose love, kindness, and gentle nature touched everyone fortunate enough to know her. Looking after others came naturally to her, and she gave her love so freely without ever expecting anything in return.
One of Karen’s greatest joys was being a Nanna to her two precious grandchildren, Isla and Leo. They brought so much happiness into her life, and she treasured every moment spent with them.
Throughout her illness, Karen showed incredible courage and strength. Even during the most difficult times, her love for her family never wavered, and she remained an inspiration to those around her. Karen will be forever loved, forever missed, and forever remembered. Her memory will continue to shine brightly through her family and all those who were fortunate enough to know and love her.
Karen requested family flowers only please but she was very passionate about helping The Rowans Hospice. If you would like to donate to The Rowans please use the JustGiving link on this page or by sending a cheque payable to the charity and sent c/o Lee Fletcher Funeral Services, 12 The Pallant, Havant PO9 1BE. Telephone 023 9248 4844.
The Burial will be Karen's immediate family only but you are welcome to join us at the Ropemaker for refreshments. Karen's wishes were for everyone to wear a touch of pink to the funeral.
