Megan J. Smith-Creed, devoted wife of Chad Creed for 21 years. Loving daughter of Billie Jane (Husted) Smith and the late Harry Lawrence Smith. Cherished younger sister of Jim (Marta) Smith, Jeff (Janet) Smith, Steve Smith, and Stacia Camper. Beloved aunt of Elysia (Wes) Smith-Mininger, Darrin Smith, Greg Smith, Jessica (Jesse) Smith-Tack, James Smith, Colin Camper, Madeleine Camper, and Jaime Camper. Adored great aunt of Colton, Cooper, and Ophelia. Passed away Saturday, February 10, 2018 at the age of 46.

Megan was a great conversationalist, warm and honest. She loved passing time in discussion. Megan enjoyed the exchange of ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and feelings and used those experiences to inform and expand upon the connectedness she felt with those around her. These interactions, whether informal conversation, or in a structure such as a business meeting or book club, often reminded everyone how insightful she was and how effortlessly she elevated the discussion and provided valued perspective.

Megan always showed care, concern, and tenderness to everyone. She always put the needs of others ahead of her own. She was quick to lend a helping hand or a compassionate ear to those in need. She was a fierce friend and would ardently defend anyone who she thought was treated unjustly. She resolved always to believe in the best of others and tried to live always with only the best of intentions. She had an unyielding positivity, no matter what was going on in her life or in our world, Megan always chose to show us her happy, positive and optimistic self. These characteristics are what she was best known for.

Megan loved animals. She was raised as a cat person, but she did not discriminate, enjoying dogs, birds and regularly making trips to the Cincinnati Zoo. Like most of us, she was a fan of Fiona the Hippo and as a Detroit Redwings fan, she had a fondness for octopi. Megan loved simple and natural things. Despite often dressing in blacks and grays, she enjoyed brightness in light, colors, and patterns. She marveled at the beauty of wild things wherever they occurred.

She enjoyed taking on new projects that challenged her skills. Megan loved to travel, enjoy good food and drink, and commune with those she cared most for. Although she did it often, she always wanted to travel more and throw more parties. She loved to have co-conspirators who would go along with her in the adventures and celebrations of her life.

Megan would love to know that everyone is going to be OK in her absence. She was selfless, loving and always wanted the very best for everyone. Megan would want to be remembered as the smiling, fun, easy to laugh with friend she loved so much to be. She would want everyone to realize that we all play a role in other people’s lives – a million tiny parts. She would hope we each take every opportunity to opt for kindness, gentleness and giving.
