Melanie had a passion for philosophy and the arts. She made a career of teaching students at Dowling College and has works published.

She believed that the love you put out into the world is recognized by the universe and comes back full circle. She spent a lifetime sharing that belief by welcoming everyone into her life, learning to understand them and treating them as family. Her laugh was both distinct and contagious and could be picked out from a room full of people.
She survived by her husband Thomas Mineo and her son Zenon Mineo whom she always expressed were her greatest joy in life.
