Melinda Lee Bartoszewicz, of Quincy, Fla., passed away Friday, May 5, 2017.
Melinda was a registered nurse, an avid naturalist and bird lover, dog lover, gardener, photographer, and the most wonderful cook. Melinda was born Nov. 19, 1965, in Fernandina Beach to Franklin and Annette Lee. She graduated from Florida State University and was a passionate Seminoles fan. She had a lifelong love of nature and enjoyed photographing the birds that came to her many feeders and to the wildlife refuges near her home.
