Melinda J. Roberts, 75, of Noblesville, passed away on Sunday, August 4, 2024, at her home in Noblesville following an extended illness.

She retired from Hamilton Southeastern School Corporation after 29 years as an elementary teacher. She was devoted to her family and especially loved being a grandmother.

Melinda was known and loved as much for her style, wit and sense of humor as she was for her humility, sense of purpose and her quiet strength.
