She was born to Barbara and William Melillo on September 29, 1970 at Riverview Medical Center and was raised in Rumson. She graduated from Rumson-Fair Haven Regional High School in 1988.

Roni will lovingly be remembered as a wonderful person who was an outstanding mother, daughter, sister and aunt. She embraced every moment with her children, AJ and Ellie, and their little pup Spencer.
