Richfield, Utah - Our kind and beloved daughter, sister, granddaughter, aunt and friend, Melanie Lynn Daniels Layton, age 46, was tragically taken from us September 11, 2014 in Sevier County, Utah. Our hearts are troubled, but now we know she is at peace. She was found November 13, 2014.

The family would like to extend a special thanks to the Richfield City Police Department, the Sevier County Sheriff's Department, and any others that may have been involved, for all their time and efforts spent searching for our dear Melanie. Thanks for not giving up and continuing in your search in helping us come to a final closure. We will never forget what you have done for our family.
