Megan loved the outdoors and spent as much time outside as she could. As a child she spent

her time at Gramma and Grandpa’s farm. You could find her in the barn or in the pasture. She

started riding horses when she was 5 and learned to shoot her .22 at age 9. Wherever the

animals were, that’s where she was. She belonged to a Viking Battle Re-Enactment Group

called Hird. Where she was learning how to fight like the Viking Warrior Princess that

she was.

Some of her most loved hobbies included puzzles, painting and reading. Her love of books

allowed her to travel the world and other worlds as well. But her furbabies, her husband and her

family were her whole life and she loved them all fiercely and made it known that she would also

defend them just as fiercely.

Megan had countless friends whom she loved deeply as well. She did not know a stranger. She

could and would, carry on a conversation with anyone about anything! She will be so very

missed by a great many people.
