Megan Montgomery Obituary

Megan Louise Montgomery, of Hoover, beloved daughter of Susann Montgomery-Clark & Rod Clark of Hoover and Johnny & Liz Montgomery of Homewood, beloved baby sister of Meredith Montgomery Price (Jason Price) of Homewood, and stepsister of Raymond Woods, passed away suddenly on Sunday December 1, 2019. She left behind two precious nieces, Evie & Izzy Cleckler, many aunts, uncles, cousins and friends who all loved her and her gentle & kind spirit. Megan was a graduate of John Carroll Catholic High School where she was a cheerleader. She also graduated from UAB earning her Master's degree in Communications Management in 2013. She was a prolific and talented writer for UAB School of Nursing. She won the English department writing award about cruelty to elephants in captivity. She was passionate about saving animals and at the young age of 16 organized her friends in protesting the circus in Birmingham due to its history of cruelty to elephants. When the circus closed years later, Megan was proud that she contributed to that in a small way. Megan served joyfully on the Greater Birmingham Humane Society's Jr. Professional Board raising funds to help more animals get adopted. She had 2 rescue cats, Graylee and Maya, whom she loved as her own babies. Friends are cordially invited to visit with the family from two o'clock in the afternoon until five o'clock in the evening on Thursday, the 5th of December, at Ridout's Valley Chapel located at 1800 Oxmoor Road in Homewood. The family will also receive friends on Friday, the 6th of December from eleven thirty in the morning until twelve thirty in the afternoon in the Family Life Center at Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church in Homewood. The Funeral service will immediately follow in the sanctuary of Our Lady of Sorrows Catholic Church. A private family service and burial will be held afterwards. Hundreds of friends & family have asked what they can possibly do at this difficult time. The family asks that you send a charitable gift in Megan's memory to One Place Metro Alabama Family Justice Center, 1135-14th Avenue South, Birmingham, Al. 35205. Their mission is to provide services to victims & survivors of domestic violence and to remove the many barriers to reporting such violence.

Our hearts are overwhelmed with sadness over the loss of the beautiful person that grew up with our girls. We have so many memories of Megan; all the gingerbread house making events, the graduations from OLS and John Carroll, cheerleading, birthday parties. We know Megan's light on earth will shine forever for all the good she did before God brought her home to be forever safe. Our prayers are with all of Megan's family and friends that God will cover you with the peace and assurance that Megan is already continuing her work of loving others in heaven.

Never got to meet her but her story moved me.
She went through a lot and was such a fighter and an inspiration. I'm so saddened by her tragic loss. Far too young and unjust. I hope justice gets served. Prayers & Condolences to her family, friends and all her loved ones.

It's with sympathy and true sadness I offer my prayers for you all who hurt so deeply for your loss of Megan. Over the years, I've not know your loved one, Megan, but have known Johnny. It is with heartfelt love you all will be remembered as you continue your journey in life. As one has recently lost my mother, a brother and a life long friend, I cannot imagine your anguish in losing your child. But let God's Holy Words comfort and keep us, My soul takes refuge in You; and in the shadows of Your wings I will take refuge. Psalm 57:1. God Bless and sustain you all.

When I heard the news of Megan's death, I could only think of Johnny and imagine the pain he felt of
loosing his little girl. To a parent there could be no greater pain than loosing a child and my heart aches for you and your family. May God comfort you, Liz and the entire family during this difficult time. I will keep you in my prayers and thoughts. You and Liz hold a special place in my heart and soul and I love you both.

Johnny,

My wife, Patricia, and I were shocked and saddened to hear about your lovely daughter, Megan. She was such a shining star and wonderful role model for other young people. We hope the support of your good friends in the real estate sales profession can help to make this tragic loss a little easier to bear. Our heart goes out to you at this very difficult time.

The first time I met Megan was at our house on Highland around Christmas. She was in high school. The prettiest little thing. I remember she had leggins on with Uggs. Don't know why I remember that. I remember the time she spent her honeymoon at our condo in Orange Beach. How she went back to school and achieved her Bachelors then Masters. A beautiful person inside and out. I cannot express enough how sorry I am. Prayers to Susann, Rod, Meredith, Izzy & Evie. This is just so horrible.
