Life story

Celebrating the Life of Megan Leeann Smith-Watkins

September 17, 1996 – November 21, 2021

Megan Leeann Smith-Watkins lived a life full of heart, laughter, and fierce love. Born on September 17, 1996, she was a bright soul who brought joy to those around her and strength to every challenge she faced.

Megan was a proud and devoted mother to her son, Conner Watkins, who was the light of her life. Her spirit lives on in him — in his smile, his kindness, and the love they shared.

She faced her illness with courage, never letting it dim her vibrant personality or her deep love for family and friends. Megan’s warmth, sense of humor, and unforgettable presence will be remembered always.

She may no longer walk beside us, but the impact she made continues to shine through everyone who knew and loved her.

To One of My Teen Besties

No time passed, whether it be the time we grew apart post graduation, or the time you’ve been gone, can take away the love I still have for you. There were times as a angsty teenage girl where all I wanted was to sit down with you and Ivy and let all of my thoughts out. You were so kind, so witty, so HILARIOUS, dependable, comforting, I could go on. Megan I am deeply sorry for the time we lost. I’m sorry for not keeping in touch like I wish I had. I see pictures of you and your family and it makes my heart very happy. You are sorely missed. I look back on these photos and smile, I hope you do too.

My Best Friend

I was so lucky to have Megan as a best friend. We had so many similar opinions and interests, and I find myself wondering what she would think about a song, outfit, or some random gossip I heard all the time and I wish so bad that I could talk to her about it. She was so funny, kind, and caring. She was a great mom and loved Conner so much and always talked about wanting to be a football mom when he grew up. I will never forget her purple hair, gold DIY prom shoes that left glitter all over, or when it was so cold our teeth were chattering and we were laughing so hard that we both were dry heaving in the movie theater parking lot.
