Melanie Ann Smith Cyrus, 63, of Elizabethton, Tenn., passed away on Thursday, October 24, 2024. Melanie was born in Oakfort, Pa., to the late Marlin and Patricia Seaver Smith.

Melanie was a selfless lady who always had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye. She was a very strong woman who carried so much love for everyone. She loved to laugh and to make people smile. A more loving and caring person never existed! She was a homemaker and was of the Baptist faith. Melanie had very strong faith in God and loved her Lord dearly.

Melanie was a proud organ donor, which was like her in that she was always thinking of others before herself. Even through her battle with cancer, she was able to give someone the gift of sight.

Melanie loved playing with her great-grandchildren and all children. She loved being outside and going camping in her camper. She loved to cook for people and family was very important to her, so spending time with them was her truest joy!

Those left to cherish her memory include her husband of 39 years, Ralph Cyrus of Elizabethton; her sons, Christopher Moore and wife Amanda, Zachary Adam Cyrus and Liam Seamus Devlin Cyrus, all of Elizabethton; her daughter, Miranda Ann Moore of Elizabethton; her grandson, Ian Moore of Elizabethton; her granddaughters, Hannah Mathes and Isabella Moore, both of Elizabethton; and her great-grandchildren, Opal Paige Grant and Juniper Lee Berry, both of Elizabethton. Six brothers and sisters; numerous nieces and nephews; and other extended family (blood or not) also survive.
