Megan Joy Ballou Obituary (1988 - 2018)

Megan Joy was born on April 15, 1988 in Boise, Idaho and passed away September 28, 2018 in Salt Lake City, Utah. Megan was always full of love and acceptance. There was no small furry animal she wouldn’t adopt, no friend in need she wouldn’t help. She loved children, and was an adoring Nanny and Aunt. She loved spoiling “her babies” with small trinkets from her travels, and always had a fun craft or activity to do with them. Megan had many adventures in life, and lived in Richmond, Virginia, Southern Utah, Puerto Rico, St. Louis, and the Salt Lake Valley. She loved warm climates, the sun, and the beach. She found solace in the outdoors and enjoyed family time at Warm River in Ashton, Idaho. Megan was a voracious reader and writer. She couldn’t resist a new notebook or writing pad, and she filled the pages with thoughts, lyrics, and letters sent to friends and family. She is survived by her parents Mike and Nancy (Vail) Ballou, siblings Eric (Nicole), Emily (Travis), Quinn (Denique), Russell, and nieces and nephews Brenner, Clark, James, Henry, Eva, Charlie, Addie, Viv, and Sullivan as well as her Grandfather Delmar Vail. She is also survived by a loving extended family- aunts, uncles, and cousins whom she loved dearly. She is preceded in death by her grandparents John and June Ballou, grandmother Shirley Vail, and nephew Lucas Fonnesbeck. A memorial service will be held at Jenkins-Soffe South Valley, 1007 W. South Jordan Pkwy South Jordan (10600 S), UT 84095 on Saturday, October 6th with a visiting time from 10:30-11:30 AM and service at 12:00. Online condolences at www.jenkins-soffe.com
