TRIXIE’S STORY: BEING BLESSED AND BLESSING OTHERS If you’ve heard Executive Chairman Frank VanderSloot speak to Marketing Executives, you’ve surely heard him say that at Melaleuca, we go through life together; we grow old together. Executive Director 9 Trixie Mangold enrolled in 1998 to see how eliminating toxic cleaning products from her home could improve her family’s health. Twenty-four years later, Trixie knows she has received so much more from Melaleuca than world-class wellness products. “My Melaleuca community—I call them family—has gotten me through a lot of tragedy,” Trixie says. “I went
through a divorce after being married for 28 years. I remarried and lost my husband within five months. My Melaleuca family always pulls through from all over the country to help me.” This last August, Trixie was in for even more change. She married a wonderful man, Charlie Mangold, and made her home in Cape Coral, Florida. Then, just one month later, Hurricane Ian turned her new life upside down. The Category 4 storm was not projected to hit Cape Coral, but it unexpectedly shifted directions. With no time to evacuate, all Trixie and her family could do was hunker down and wait it out.
