Melodee Colbert Kean


Melodee Colbert Kean is a restaurant owner, city and community Leader and Connector. She served as Mayor of Joplin, MO from 2012-2014.

In the wake of the devastating tornados, she remained a beacon of hope for her community. For Melodee, connecting with nature is soothing, calming and energy restoring. A place where people can go and be in a peaceful atmosphere to recollect memories and reflect on life.
