Meghan Amanda (Frohnapfel) Fedynich was born on July 11, 1987 to Johanna (Tucker) Frohnapfel and Martin Frohnapfel. Meghan Amanda Fedynich passed away on September 15, 2024. She was married to David Alan Fedynich on March 19, 2013. Her brothers are Joshua Frohnapfel and Joe Tucker, sister Maranda Frohnapfel, nephew Kameron and niece Lillianna and sister Angela Frohnapfel, nephew Paul and nieces Rihanna and Rayne. She was and still is loved dearly and is missed more than words can say. She grew up in Temperance MI where she attended Ida elementary school, Monroe middle school and JFK high school. She did some culinary schooling afterwards and was looking forward to the possibility of going back to culinary school in the near future. While at JFK H.S. she was a talented and competitive track athlete. Running was always something she loved and after fighting through many illnesses that had taken so much freedom from her daily life she was finally able to start working herself back into shape for running in the last year. Being able to start running, jogging and walking the dogs again brought her much joy and just brought her powerful personality back to life.
Meghan’s dogs were always a huge part of her life. She loved them all as children. She was so proud of her Boston Terriers and she had actually rescued one from a puppy mill. She couldn’t stand for people miss treating pets and would step up and do something if and when she saw it happening. Over the years she had ended up with up to 5 dogs at a time and they made her so happy and brought her smile out. Currently she leaves behind our Boston Terrier Kane and her young pocket bully puppy Delilah. They both miss her a lot as well.
Meghan herself coming from hardships and dealing with serious health issues and complications had a large place in her heart for others in need. She could sense when someone was struggling and would ask a stranger if they were OK or if they needed help. Whether it be a coat or a ride or some “gas money” she wouldn’t judge and do what she could to help. At the same time she could see through someone trying to take advantage of her, anyone that knew her knew how much of a force to be reckoned with and God help you if you crossed her. A saying of hers was “This red head will beat your ass” instead of the more negative version of this saying which she absolutely hated. She was so many things to so many people both good and bad depending how she felt treated by someone. She lived by the golden rule and expected at least that from others.
Meghan was beautiful and strong, she was courageous and loyal, she was funny and is inspiring, she was committed, faithful and perceptive. Her favorite prayer was “Prayer to your guardian Angel”. “Angel of God, my guardian dear, to whom his love commits me here, ever this day (night) be at my side, to light and guard, to rule and guide. Amen”. Meghan was a devoted, loving, warmhearted and dependable wife. Her presence is greatly missed but her inspiration lives on in our hearts. She would have wanted everyone she knows to be strong and keep her in their hearts and to not stop moving forward and upward. She could find joy in the smallest things and actions spoke much louder than words or things to her. She appreciated the thought behind something and could be happy with good company and stories or hanging out at home and watching a show,movie or listening to the radio and doing things around the house. She was very creative and was talented at drawing. She really liked doing crosswords and other puzzles. She was proud of the accomplishment of becoming new home owners this last year and all the creative ideas she had for what to do with it. She had begun collecting and growing flowers indoors to design what will become a beautiful garden. There are many other things on the list of improvements she had that will be done over time so that her complete vision of this house can be realized.
Meghan demonstrated remarkable resilience in the face of adversity, overcoming incredible challenges to survive against the odds. Despite shouldering family responsibilities from a young age and missing out on a traditional childhood, she persevered with strength and determination. Then at the age of 21 she was diagnosed with ovarian and cervical cancer. The type she had would respond negatively to radiation and chemotherapy so many surgeries were the only answer. Recovering from this was a very challenging time and some scars never healed from this. Later she had one of her feet severely broken on a fall on the ice requiring several surgeries and large bolts and screws to try to put it back together. This really hurt on another level since it took away her ability to run for years. She then also suffered a stroke several years after breaking her foot which left her with nerve issues and severe seizures, that took doctors awhile to find the correct medications to all but stop them. She was left with only partial use of her heart after this as well. Her nerve problems progressed to the point where she lost use of her legs and was relegated to using a wheelchair and pretty much confined to the bed for a couple years before she found the right neurologist that tried a different approach and Meghan regained the use of her limbs and began regaining physical strength over the last year. She was very enthusiastic about being able to walk the dogs and begin running again. She pushed herself hard too hard sometimes. She had just spent so much time down and out and just couldn’t contain herself now that she could act on her ideas. There was no stopping her will, drive and desire to do what she set her mind and heart on.
You are missed so much and loved forever……………..
