Kylene Gail Meade

Kylene Gail Meade, born on September 21,1978, passed away peacefully on September 28th, surrounded by her loving family and friends by her side. She came into this world faced with many challenges and she defied doctors who said she would not live a long productive life. She brought a family together in love and faith. She may have never spoken a word, but with her bright eyes and her infectious smile, she was able to communicate. She taught us how love can move mountains, to never lose hope, and that differences do not matter. So many really special people have passed through our lives in helping care for her, and to those, we are forever grateful. She is predeceased by her loving father, Bill Meade and her grandparents, Ruth and Bill Boardman, and Leo and Catherine Meade.

She is survived by her devoted mother, Joan Meade, who took such good card of her and her siblings, Kevin and Kim (Ralph), nieces and nephew and so many other family and friends that are a part of her life.

Kylene attended Lakeview School (CP center) in Edison until she was 21, and more recently NJID in Barnegat.

Visition will be held at St. Mary of the Pines in Manahawkin, NJ Oct 1, 2016 at noon, followed by mass at 1:00. Burial will follow at St. Mary Cemetery, Manahawkin, NJ
