Meghan Marie Nelson

Our beautiful Megs is singing with the angels…

Meghan Marie Nelson, January 3, 1986 – January 23, 2018 – Noblesville, Indiana – After a brave nine year battle with a brain tumor, Meghan passed away peacefully, surrounded by her family and best friends, Jenn Colson and Claire Herne.

Meghan was born in the beautiful Upper Peninsula of Michigan. She lived in Negaunee with her two sisters and her Mom and Dad. In July of 2000, Meghan moved with her family to Rio Rancho, New Mexico. In October of 2003, Meghan moved back to the Midwest with her family. They settled in Carmel, Indiana where Meghan graduated from Carmel High School in 2004.

Meghan loved hanging out with her friends, listening to music/going to concerts, being with her family, the Indianapolis Colts as well as the Green Bay Packers, and she loved her little Gray Bear to the moon and back!

In March of 2009, Meghan was diagnosed with a brain tumor. During her nine year battle, she endured two brain surgeries, proton radiation, oral chemotherapy, infusions and radiation. After her second surgery last August, her tumor turned cancerous. Meghan never stopped fighting and she never lost her positive attitude. She was always such a little ray of sunshine for all who were lucky enough to know her. Meghan was a true warrior…she will be forever missed…life will never be the same…

Meghan worked at Carrington Mortgage Company in Westfield, as a Customer Service Representative. Working with the public can be challenging, but Meghan always loved a good challenge! She excelled at her job winning many contests and awards.

                                                                                 it’s not the

                                                           years in a life,

                                                                                    in the years.
