Megan FINLAYSON Obituary

It is with heavy hearts we share the devastating news that our beloved Megan passed away on August 1, 2023. Sadly she was tragically killed in a horrific accident while on her daily commute to work. Megan lived life to the fullest for 27 years, surrounded by family and friends. She was a beloved daughter of Jim and Jill, loving sister to Kristen and Hiro, amazing aunty to Koji and Kiyo, and faithful friend to many. We are shocked and saddened by her sudden death, but are holding tightly to the treasured memories we shared with her. Always smiling, full of fun facts and up for any adventure. Her infectious joy, kindness, compassion, and great sense of humour will be sorely missed. A celebration of Megan's short, but well lived life will be held in the Silverstream Retreat, Reynolds Bach Drive, Silverstream on Tuesday August 15, 2023 at 2.00pm thereafter private cremation at Akatarawa. We want to celebrate and cherish her life - the way she deserves. Forever and always in our hearts. In lieu of flowers, donations to the Cancer Society, Zelandia or, SPCA would be appreciated and may be left at the service or sent directly to your chosen charity. All messages to the "Finlayson family" c/- PO Box 30, 127 Lower Hutt 5040.

I remember meeting you for the first time working at McDonalds in Lower Hutt, your smile was super infectious, as was your laugh. I have never forgotten either of them, and now saddened that the world will never get to experience it. Fly high with love you deserve.

We watched Megan's funeral on line. It was so lovely to see and hear how she lived such a full life. She was so loved by her family and friends. Taken from us so suddenly and so young. Her way of life she lead will be remembered by many. Our deepest sympathy go out to Jill and Jim and Kirsten and all her family that made her who she was. Love Deb and Ian
