Melanie Buchanan

Melanie Ziglar Buchanan, 45, went home to be with her Lord and Savior on Thursday, September 22, 2022. Melanie was born October 4, 1976 to Wanda (Mabe) and Roger Ziglar in Winston-Salem, NC. On June 29, 2002, she married Preston Buchanan in Patrick Springs, VA. As a devout Christian, her love of her family was second only to her love of Jesus Christ. In recent years, Melanie and her family attended Faith Memorial Baptist Church, Danville, VA, where she and her family are members. One of Melanie's favorite Bible verses is Psalms 25:5-7 which reads "Guide me in your truth and teach me, for you are God my Savior, and my hope is in you all day long. Remember, LORD, your great mercy and love, for they are from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth and my rebellious ways; according to your love remember me, for you, LORD, are good." Melanie is survived by her husband Preston, sons Ethan and Vincent, her parents, step- father L.B. Bullins, sister Rosa (Mike) Dalton, brothers Buddy Ziglar, and Junior (Shannon) Bullins, and many nieces and nephews. Melanie was preceded in death by her daughter, Chloe Madison Buchanan, who passed away in 2010; a brother, Jesse Wade Ziglar, Jennifer Bullins, and a nephew, Cody Ziglar. Visitation will be Saturday, October 8, 2022 from 6-8 p.m. at Faith Memorial Baptist Church, 7450 Martinsville Hwy, Danville, VA 24541. A Celebration of Melanie's life will be Sunday, October 9, 2022 at 2 p.m. also at the church.
