Melanie Marjorie Gorbar was born on December 27th, 1952 at Fort Jackson, South Carolina. She passed away at the home she loved so much on January 3rd, 2024 after her all too short battle with cancer. Melanie was 71 years old. Melanie met her husband, Timothy, in the Florida Keys in 1973 and they have been inseparable ever since. They traveled the world with their daughter, Teresa, while Timothy was in the Army. She loved Germany the most. Melanie loved caring and tending her plants and could be found in her solarium caring for all of her beautiful plants and flowers ranging from African violets, palms, ivy, ferns and a multitude of others. Melanie's smile would brighten anyones day. The world has become darker with her passing and she will always live in our hearts. She was preceded in death by her parents, Keith and Joy Reuter. Melanie is survived by her loving husband of 49 years, Timothy Gorbar of Johnstown, Pennsylvania; her daughter, Teresa and husband Drew Bentley of Lebanon, Tennesee; and two sisters, Dawn McCoy of Chandler, North Carolina and Kim Reuter of Ocala, Florida.
