Pensacola, FL. - Melody L. (Holiday) Jaenisch passed away Sunday December 15th, 2024 surrounded by her loving family at home after a long fought battle with cancer.

Melody was born in Saratoga Springs in 1959 and joined the US NAVY after graduating high school. She later resided in Pensacola, Florida, and reunited with her loving classmate turned husband John R. Jaenisch. She was an avid Pool player and was a devoted member to Cue and Brew of Fort Edward where she would often escape the chaos of "vacation" life. If anybody knew Melody, she often kept herself very occupied while visiting her hometown and family for summers by holding numerous jobs at SPAC, and The Cool Insuring Arena during hockey season.

Melody was predeceased by her mother Dawn McMahon, her father John Delmage and her sister Michelle Meisburger. She is survived by her two absolute rays of sunshine daughters, Miranda (Frank) Luman of South Glens Falls, Ariana (Bolt) Scheidt also of South Glens Falls, her two precious grandchildren Brandin and Raygen Luman, her brothers Michael (Robin) Nichols of Wilton, and Mark Holiday of Saratoga Springs. As well as many nephews and nieces and some very cherished friends.

Her husband and family would like to extend the deepest gratitude to her cousin Karen Williams of Colorado and her Best Friend of 45 years Denise Kleber of Pensacola who took the time to be here for her final days and assist in her care. As well as the Community Hospice.

A Celebration of Life will be held Saturday December 21st from 12-3 at the ITAM (Italian America War Veterans) 247 Grand Avenue, Saratoga Springs, NY.

A memorial service with military honors will be scheduled in late spring or early summer at the Gerald B.H. Solomon National Cemetery, 200 Duell Rd., Schuylerville NY.

Arrangements are under the direction of the William J. Burke & Sons/Bussing & Cunniff Funeral Homes of 628 North Broadway, Saratoga Springs (518-584-5373).
