Megan's journey began as the cherished daughter of Udena and Donald Sanders, Sr., and she grew up surrounded by the warmth of a large and loving family. Her spirit was a beacon of light that continued to shine brightly as she became the loving wife of Rob Poe for twenty-two beautiful years. Together, they created a life filled with laughter and love, welcoming their daughter Rosalie and son Gabriel, who were the absolute joys of Megan's life.

Megan's love extended to all creatures great and small, especially her beloved dog Buddy, who was a constant companion and source of comfort. She was a sister who shared an unbreakable bond with Donna (Steve) Wallace, Helen (Dickson) Fitzpatrick, Barbara (Jason) Adkins, Donald (Stacey) Sanders, Jr., and Brandon (Jessica) Sanders. Kathy Poe’s role as a second mom to Megan was a cherished one. The love she had for her family was endless, touching the lives of many nieces and nephews.

Professionally, Megan was a hardworking and dedicated individual, excelling in management positions in both retail and restaurant industries. Her colleagues knew her as a firecracker, someone who brought energy and determination to every challenge she faced.

Megan's interests and hobbies painted a picture of a woman who lived life to the fullest. She was the heart of any gathering, often the first to grab the microphone for a round of karaoke, her laughter ringing out like a melody. Her sense of humor was legendary, and her ability to find joy in the simple things was a lesson to all. A self-proclaimed tomboy, Megan never shied away from an adventure or a chance to show her fun-loving spirit.

A lover of sloths, Megan found delight in the quirky and the unique. She indulged in hobbies that allowed her to express her creative side, such as diamond art, puzzles, and adult coloring books. Evenings would often find her curled up with a cup of coffee, watching episodes of "The Simpsons," with Buddy by her side.

Megan's life reflected her core values: loving, funny, and selfless. She gave of herself freely and without expectation, always putting the needs of others before her own. Her legacy is one of kindness and generosity, a legacy that will continue to inspire those who knew her.

She was preceded in death by her parents, Udena and Donald Sanders, Sr., and her grandparents, Ruth, and Robert Poe. Their influence on Megan's life was profound, and she carried their memory with her in every act of kindness and every moment of joy she shared.

Megan Marie (Sanders) Poe's departure from this world leaves behind a void that cannot be filled. Yet, in the hearts of her husband, children, siblings, extended family, and friends, her memory will continue to burn brightly, guiding and inspiring them just as she did in life.
