Isla Rose Melucci
OBITUARY
Isla Rose Melucci, age 4, beloved daughter of Rick Melucci and Rebecca Reed, of Taylor, passed away unexpectedly Monday, March 9, 2026 at home.
Born in Scranton, Isla was an active and joyful girl whose bright smile brought happiness to everyone. She loved the wonders of childhood chasing bubbles, watching The Magic School Bus, enjoying the surprises of her favorite character Minnie Mouse. Full of energy, she especially enjoyed gymnastics and tumbling, where her playful personality shined. Isla also loved sharing cuddles and fun moments with her pet dogs. Adorable, affectionate, and full of life, she will be tremendously missed.
Surviving, in addition to her loving parents, are her siblings, sister, Fiora Melucci, sister, Priya Melucci, and brother Asa Melucci; maternal grandparents, Paul and Petra Weindel Reed of Taylor; her paternal grandparents, Rick and Carol Tabella Melucci of Old Forge; her aunts and uncles, Cassidy Reed (fianc Ron Thorne) of Taylor and Brenda Roscioli (husband Nick) of Old Forge with their daughter Ella Roscioli; and many dear friends.
The funeral will be Saturday, March 14, 2026, with Mass of Christian Burial at 10:00 AM in Prince of Peace Parish, 123 W. Grace St., Old Forge to be celebrated by Father Walter E. Jenkins, C.S.C., Pastor. Those planning to attend the Mass, which is open to everyone, are asked to proceed directly to the church and be seated by 9:50 AM. Interment will be private. The family requests that those who attend, in honor of Isla and if desired, wear something Minnie Mouse/Mickey Mouse themed.
There will be no public viewing or visitation either prior to or following Mass. The family prefers to not receive people in a visitation setting. Thank you for respecting the family’s wishes. Please keep Isla and the family in your prayers.
