Melissa "Missy" Gould, born on May 21, 1977, in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, passed away on April 10, 2024, leaving a legacy of love and kindness.

Missy attended Liberty High School in Bethlehem and graduated in 1998; after high school, she pursued her passion, caring for her nieces and nephews, whom she adored.

Aside from spending time with family, Missy enjoyed watching sports, particularly basketball and any sport her nieces and nephews were playing. She could often be found supporting her favorite teams and the Liberty High School Grenadier Band with enthusiasm and passion.

Missy touched the lives of many with her kind heart and selfless nature. She will be remembered for her gentle spirit, warm smile, and unwavering love for those around her.

We would express our gratitude to the University of Pennsylvania, especially our friend Dr. Edward Bondi, Dermatology, and the nurses and doctors at Lehigh Valley Hospital Muhlenberg.
