Obituary for Meghan Anne Voisine
Meghan Anne Voisine was born on January 29, 2001 and died on October 23, 2021. Meghan impacted everyone she knew with her infectious personality, her fun-loving spirit and a kindness that she shared with all. She was a bright comet that streaked through our lives and one that was extinguished way too early.
Meghan grew up in Suffield, and graduated from Suffield High School Class of 2019. She was a competitive swimmer on the Suffield Swim Team all 4 years, and was co-captain her senior year. At SHS she also was member of the National Honor Society and a volunteer for Days for Girls. Meghan was a junior at The University of Connecticut Business School and a member of Gamma Phi Beta sorority and the Women in Business Club. Prior to UConn she spent a year at Seton Hall University. She enjoyed reading in her free time, working at Tailwinds Ice Cream Shop and snuggling with her beloved dog Wilson.
One of the most important things in Meghan’s life was her relationships with friends & family. Meghan had many, many friends. She had a unique ability to forge a special relationship with each and every person she knew. She brought joy, laughter and compassion to each of these relationships. She felt deeply in her heart when someone else was hurting and tried to be there for them.
As a daughter and sister Meghan was always appreciative and knew the right things to say and do. She had the ability to brighten everyone’s day with a funny story, a kind comment or a thoughtful gesture. She leaves behind countless memories with all of those whose lives she touched. She will especially be remembered for her thoughtful gifts that always seemed to strike the perfect chord.
For those who did not get to experience the joy of being around Meghan in person, picture her with a Dunkin’ iced caramel coffee in one hand, her phone in the other, constantly sending funny pictures to friends and blasting music. She never turned down an adventure, always outdid the rest of the family in her fashion choices and had the brightest, most caring smile that said “let’s have some fun”.
She is survived by her beloved parents Michael and Patricia Voisine of Suffield; sister Sarah Hamilton and her husband Duncan of Philadelphia, PA; brother Alexander Voisine of Austin, TX; paternal grandmother Maureen Voisine of North Andover, MA; maternal grandparents Ronald and Eunice Seavey of Enfield. Aunts and uncles, Sean and Carla O’Donnell of Wakefield, RI; Melissa Skarbelis of North Andover, MA; Matt and Kristen Curran of Danvers, MA; and Jim and Pauline Seavey of Edgewood, NM; and six cousins Chris Skarbelis (Alyssa Caroli), Mike Skarbelis, Brendan O’Donnell, Nolan O’Donnell, Sean Curran, and Dan Curran. She was predeceased by her paternal grandfather Peter Voisine.
