Marguerite Elizabeth Bach went to be with her Lord & Savior on Tuesday, October 8, 2024 at the age of 66 after a short illness. Meg was born in Goshen, NY on July 17, 1958 to parents Ruth Bach and John E Bach, Sr (deceased).
Meg earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree from SUNY Cortland in Physical Education, and a Master of Arts Degree from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in Exercise Physiology. She later became a Certified Professional Life Coach from the Certified Life Coach Institute.
Meg had an impact on everyone she touched. Whether it was serving as Class Administrator for Bible Study Fellowship or in facilitating the weekly Bible Study, which she led. Every person knew she cared for them. For years, she served on the Board of Directors for Changed Choices and mentored in the Apostles Fellows Program.
Meg led her community group at her church and began and then served as editor for her HOA community newsletter. Meg’s vibrant personality and caring nature made an impression on everyone she met. Her strong faith and love for her God was evident in all her interactions. Her goal was to serve Him in whatever He called her to do. She was a faithful servant and will be missed by hundreds of people from every walk of life.
Meg is survived by siblings, John E Bach, Jr & Joanne Bach, Kevin & Celine Bach, Bernice & Pete Holmbraker, Posie & Stan Tveit, Jamie & Joe Neumann and Becky & Josh Gregerson.
