Linda Meekins of Owings, MD, has passed away, leaving behind a family and community who loved her dearly.
Here is the shape of a life remembered with love.
Linda spent her working life as ['chemist until becoming a stay-at-home mom'] — and was, by all accounts, loved by those who knew her best.
Linda's children carry forward what was given to them.
Linda Felker Meekins, 69, of Lothian passed away peacefully in her home surrounded by family, after a long battle with multiple myeloma for the last 10 years. While attending Geneva College, she met William Meekins, Jr. and the two were married on May 23, 1981, in Beaver Falls, PA. Linda started her career as a chemist until becoming a stay-at-home mom, raising her three children. She then went to work as a teacher's assistant at Tracey's Elementary School for 25 years, retiring in 2019.
Linda enjoyed quilting, including her time as the president of the Annapolis Quilt Guild and various quilting bees. She loved spending time with her family including her seven precious grandchildren. She also enjoyed singing in the church choir, watching the Commanders play, traveling with her sisters and spending time with her small group.
Linda is survived by her husband William "Bill" Meekins, Jr. of Lothian, children Jeffrey Meekins and his wife Joy of Fayetteville, AR, Laura Smith and her husband Luke of Timonium, MD, and Rachel Livingston of Edgewater, MD and her grandchildren William, Benjamin, and Aowyn Meekins, June and Lucy Smith, and Ava and Wyatt Livingston.
The family will be having a reception in the church hall after Linda's services and would like to invite those who attend.
Rausch Funeral Home is honored to serve the family of Linda Meekins.
