LAFRAMBOISE, MELISSA S., 35, of Coventry, passed away at Miriam Hospital, Providence with her loving family by her side on Wednesday, April 1, 2026.
Born in Warwick, Melissa was a daughter of Gloria M. (Patenaude) and the late Richard L. Laframboise.
Melissa attended Coventry High School where she was a student of the Cosmetology Program at the Regional Career Center. Born with a natural eye for fashion and beauty, Melissa was known by all who knew her as a true “fashionista”. She will also be remembered for her sense of humor and her memorable practical jokes. Melissa enjoyed trips camping and found peace being in nature and ocean waters. She loved all kinds of animals and was always there to display compassion to any and all creatures that may have been in need.
Besides her loving mother, Gloria, Melissa is survived by her dear sister, Amie Laframboise, her beloved niece, Jazmine Laframboise, her uncle, Robert Patenaude, and cousins, James Patenaude and Shaun Patenaude along with their families.
