Obituary for Melissa Joines

Melissa Ann Joines, 30, of Washburn, Iowa, passed away Friday, September 8th from complications of a long term chronic pain disorder.

She was born March 18, 1987, in Waterloo, Iowa, the daughter of William E. Murphy and Kellie S. (Joines) Hadzic. She shared her life and home with the love of her life, CJ Stark.

Melissa had a brilliant mind and a deep kindness, which lead her to the field of medicine. She attended Hawkeye Community College with a goal of becoming a Diagnostic Medical Sonographer. She was a certified Doula and she worked as a waitress at the Long Horn Steakhouse, and as a part-time bartender before her body began to fail her.

For the past decade, her main focus was her children. She was a stay at home mom, with three amazing boys that she dearly loved.

Melissa was preceded in death by her father, a paternal uncle, and her paternal grandfather.

She is survived by her fiancé, CJ Stark and their three sons: Jaden, Jacob and Jaxon of Washburn; her mother, Kellie (Alen) Hadzic of Waterloo; grandparents, Donald and Beverly Joines of Garwin; and paternal grandmothers, Kathy Zars and Candy Murphy; maternal aunts, Kimberly (Christopher) Wise of Cedar Rapids and Amy Earle of O’Fallen, MO; and paternal aunts, Deanna Stebenow and Shannon Murphy; paternal uncles, James E. Murphy and Raymond L. Murphy Jr., her extended family: CJ’s mother Cindy Stark, her honorary grandpa Billy Dewiese; CJ’s Brothers, Ty and Bobby Stark; CJ’s sister, Tristen Stark; a paternal half-sister Mariah; and many cousins, nieces and nephews.

Services will be 2:00 p.m. Tuesday, September 12 at Hagarty-Waychoff-Grarup Funeral Service on West Ridgeway. Public visitation will be Monday, from 4 until 7 p.m. at the funeral home.
