Melanie (Tarnowski) Glasson was a beautiful girl and a wonderful person who was taken from us much too early. She was a resident at Roosevelt Care Center in Edison, NJ for almost 8 years; she was only 40 years old.

Melanie was an avid outdoors woman. She had a real passion for her family, friends, and her pets. She had a huge heart and would do anything she could to help others. She was a graduate of Woodbridge High School and the Cittone Institute in Woodbridge. Melanie was an Executive Assistant for Federal Express in New York City for 10 years and Omne Staffing in Cranford for two-and-a-half years.

Melanie was predeceased by her mother, Patricia (Kinneavy) Tarnowski in 2004, and grandmothers: Catherine Kinneavy and Mary Tarnowski. Surviving are her devoted father, Eugene W. Tarnowski Sr. of Fords; brother Eugene W. Tarnowski Jr. of Fords; sisters Michele Misak of Fords and Maureen Weidele and husband Art of Charlotte, NC; also nieces, Chelsie Weidele Brines and Samantha Weidele; nephews, Griffin Weidele, Dylan, Sean and Bryce Tarnowski, Michael Misak, and Tyler Alaimo. She will be greatly missed and memories of her will always be cherished. Your suffering is over, rest in peace, you sweet little angel.
