Melinda Jo Bizon
Services have been scheduled for Melinda Jo Bizon, a former Sitka resident who died March 19 in Butte, Montana.
Her ashes will be spread at Blue Lake at noon Friday, June 29, at Blue Lake, with a potluck to follow at 1:30 p.m. at Halibut Point Recreation Area, the main shelter.
Melinda was born June 24, 1979, in Edmonds, Washington, the daughter of Katherine Dangel and Michael Bizon. In 1983 the family moved to Sitka, where Melinda attended Sitka schools, graduating from Pacific High School. She later received her CNA certification.
She moved to Del Norte, Colorado, in 2018, and then to Edmonds in 2022.
She was preceded in death by her father, Michael Bizon; her brother, Matthew J. Bizon; and her grandparents, Walter and Margaret Dangel, of Sitka.
She is survived by her daughter, Jade Haag, of Dallas, Oregon; her mother, Katherine Dangel of Edmonds; her brother, Michael J. Bizon of Edmonds; and aunts and uncles, mostly Dangels, of Sitka.
Thanks to the generosity and expertise of the the Central Council of Tlingit and Haida Indian Tribes of Alaska broadband department, Tidal Network ; Christopher Cropley, director of Tidal Network; and Luke Johnson, Tidal Network technician, SitkaSentinel.com is again being updated. Tidal Network has been working tirelessly to install Starlink satellite equipment for city and other critical institutions, including the Sentinel, following the sudden breakage of GCI's fiberoptic cable on August 29, which left most of Sitka without internet or phone connections. CCTHITA's public-spirited response to the emergency is inspiring.
