Meredith Whalen Obituary
Meredith Lynn Whalen wanted to be a successful portfolio manager and then the owner of a horse farm in Kentucky. And between those goals, she planned to cram in a lot of travel, including many cruises.
Ms. Whalen, 23, was a research associate at Fred Alger Management on the 93rd floor of 1 World Trade Center. She grew up in Canton, Mich., where she learned to ride and cheerfully cleaned out stalls. She graduated from the University of Michigan Business School in 2000. She had worked the summer before her senior year at Goldman Sachs in London but decided she wanted to work for a smaller firm, where she thought she would get more intense training.
"It was her dream job," said her mother, Pat. "My daughter loved the fast-paced life of the city and enjoyed all it had to offer, from the plays to the parks and museums and the night life."
Although she had been working just 15 months, Ms. Whalen was the front-line person for researching eBay, the Internet auction company, one of Alger's top holdings.
Ms. Whalen was already a veteran of four cruises. Her first, in the early 1990's on the Sovereign of the Sea, was delayed because of a fire while it was docked in San Juan, P.R. She had planned to leave from Barcelona, Spain, on Sept. 15 for a 12-night Mediterranean cruise with her mother.

Meredith, I recently watched a Documentary on 9/11. We went to elementary, middle and highschool together. Although we were not friends, we did speak occasionally. You were my tennis partner and we laughed about how bad we were and then we started getting better by the end. I remember you always smiling. I moved to New York and sadly post 9/11 was unaware that you left the earth. Until one day, I walked by WTC and saw your photo posted there. I was stunned. I couldn't believe someone I knew as a child face to face left the earth in such a horrific manner and so young. Someone who clearly had a bright future and success ahead of her. Many years later, it's sad to think of it. Prayers to you and family.

Meredith,
I think of you often throughout the year. I talked about you in my career development class in Spring 2021; the students are so young and have no memory of this day 20 years ago. So we remind them. This week I reread articles about you online, and it makes me smile each time to think of you loving your job and enjoying your time in NYC.
Sending a big hug to your family and closest friends. We will never forget.
Kimberly

Meredith,
Thinking of your beautiful smile today. I remember all those classes with you in elementary, middle, and high school. I remember talking with you about horses. I remember seeing you on campus at U of M. I remember you as kind, fun, and intelligent, and I smile to think of you as a young 20-something fulfilling your dreams in NYC. I bet you had a great time in that town!
I will think of you always. Not just on this anniversary. You cross my mind many times each year. I think of your family and how it must hurt. I am sending a hug to all of your family and close friends today. I wish them peace and thoughts of the good times.
Thinking of you, Meredith, today and always.

Remembering my classmate today and always . . the smart and ambitious young woman with so much drive to succeed. Your name is listed on an American flag displayed at my place of work. I manage my department's summer intern program and each summer when I give the interns a building tour, I walk them past this beautiful flag and tell them about my brilliant classmate that was lost too soon.

I can't believe that it has been 15 years. The pain of loss changes over time, but it never goes away. I think of Meredith often, especially this time of the year, but so many things in my life remind me of her. I work in one of the newer buildings on U of M campus that overlooks her old dorm (Stockwell). I still visit places where we had classes and parties together. The bench by the business school. The Law quad where we worked on Model UN. She had a huge impact in the world for having so few years, and her influence continues. The pain of lost potential is the hardest, and all I can do is honor her memory.

As we approach the 15th Anniversary of 9/11, I always think of you. I didn't really know you, I knew your Mom more. I knew you from Plymouth First United Methodist Church. I was in such shock to think of what happened to you. I think of your sister and not being able to grow up with you. I think of your Mom, what a terrible shock it all was on 9/11/01. I hope to get to NY to see the Memorial and look for your name. You are not forgotten. Your family is not forgotten. My condolences to your family. My thoughts and prayers on this anniversary. God Bless.

Dear Meredith,
My husband was with our dog at Heritage Park today. He saw a man with head bowed sitting on a bench in the rain. When he returned later, he saw flowers and read the plaque on the bench. Although we did not know you, we are shedding tears for you. This grief is universal. Wishing peace and comfort to all who love you and will miss you terribly until you are reunited.

I remember Meredith as one of her Parks and Recreation Leaders. She always had a beautiful smile and was willing to help at any time. Many of the younger children looked up to her. Thinking of her today... Tara R.

Karen W...good to know it wasn't just me she fought with lol! I remember sitting at my kitchen table for two hours going back and forth on who had bigger better things. She would always give me the ugly my little ponies too lol. Do you remember her wanting to drain the pool so she could get a real horse?! Or the countless fashion shows we would have around the pool with our towels??!! I have so many memories with her and her sister. My thoughts and prayers go out to her family.

Meredith,
I think of you often. We went through school together; all the way from elementary school through college. You were so kind-hearted, sweet, and intelligent. I think of your family and closest friends, and I pray for their comfort and peace. I can hardly believe so many years have passed, but know that your light burns bright and the memory of you has not faded.
Hugs and love.
Loved beyond words, missed beyond measure.

Meredith,
We ended up buying my parents house (my husband and I) so I walk with my son by your house almost every day. Each time, I stop and gaze up at your bedroom window, remembering the times we played together at your house and all of the fights we had over toys (especially My Little Ponies and whose pool was bigger). We used to go to Mindy's house, have lunch on your patio and swim like we were fish! I still have some home videos with you on it and of course many photos of birthday parties, plays and school events. We lost touch over the years as high school began but I still remember my childhood years with you like they were yesterday. It's hard to walk by your house and know that you are no longer in this world, but gazing up at your window reminds me of the fun and beautiful life you had while you were in this world. It makes me feel so sad that you are not out there spreading all of the love that you had in your heart, but I find comfort in knowing that in the short time you were here, you spread so much love to so many people who will carry it on for you. Your memory will always live on.
September 15, 2014
I spent all weekend thinking about Meredith and telling people stories I remember about her from doing model united nations to hanging out on campus in Ann Arbor. Time doesn't really make a loss like this easier.

I was thinking of Meredith today. I never had the privilege of knowing her personally. She sounds like a wonderful woman. I remember having dinner with you on the cruise from Portugal to Italy one year after 911. You told me about your beautiful daughter who lost her life in the 911 tragedy.
Pat, my heart goes out to you today. Meredith is in a better place with God. I will keep you are in my prayers.
Your friend, Mary.

For one of my high school classes we were to read a story about a 9/11 victim. When I saw yours it made me think of my own life and how lucky I am to have it. I love horses and I have a passion to travel, just like you did. It saddens me to think of such potentional as yours cut off so early in life. Your life will be missed by all.

I think of you every 9/11; I work in NYC and your picture was the first I saw on the fence of those missing after the attacks. We were there during the a.m. of 9/11/01 praying for you outside of the North Tower since your family and friends could not be with you on that day. Know you were comforted and have joy and peace, now, in heaven.You are a role model to those starting their careers, and you saw so much in your life.

I visited the 9/11 Memorial in May 2011 and purchased a memorial bracelet. When you buy the bracelet it comes in a small blue bag and you don't know whose name is on it until after you purchase it. My bracelet says Meredith Lynn Whalen, 9/11/01 WTC. I'm wearing it today in your memory Meredith. Rest in Peace sweet angel.

Ms.Whalen, I never knew you and I do not have any connections with you. For my high school class we were to read the story of a 9/11 victim. I chose you because at such a young age you had your life planned. You seemed like a great person that found the good in life. You will never be forgotten. God bless you and your family.

Thinking about Meredith and all other victims of 9/11 . . . Meredith and I were classmates and colleagues at the University of Michigan Business School - we were part of a small group of career counselors with a mission to help our classmates find their ideal career paths. Meredith knew her passion, even when it was not able to be easily articulated with a simple phrase (like "investment banker") to others and she was clearly gift in helping others follow what inspired them. She had such a bright light and sense of purpose. I grieve that the world had only a short time for her light to shine upon it.

I attended the University of Michigan versus Notre Dame game last night and as part of their ceremony about 9/11, they listed the names of the University of Michigan alumni who were killed. Although I only knew Meredith as a student in my calculus class when I was a graduate student instructor many years ago, my eyes still watered as I saw her name on the screen. She was one of my favorite students from my graduate school days and I will always remember her dedication and pleasant personality.

Thinking of Meredith on this day of remembrance. I was one of Meredith's classmates at the University of Michigan Business School, class of 2000. We were in the same section at the B-school so I attended many of the same classes as her. I remember Meredith as being an extremely intelligent, hard-working and contentious student. She was a genuinely kind individual. My thoughts and prayers are with Meredith and her family.

I was at the wtc that day as the first plane hit. I was in the ground floor using the path trains and was amongst first to leave. As we watched on the ground , outside, I can assure you many of us, including me, was praying for your family as a proxy, since u could not be there. After months, I knew this was my role in watching that days tragedy. As I turned to pray for the souls departed, there was cross on a local church, shinning like 1mln angels had lighted it. I never knew a person in the building so I had no picture of anyone specifically in mind. That bothered me a bit, that I did not know who I was praying for. Almost six months later, returning to the site, people's pictures of those missing were still on fences near the site. The first was Meredith's , whom I had never known. I promised to keep her name in prayers and thoughts each year. Today, she is in my mind and will be praying for her, as I did 10 years ago. She will never be forgotten. To Meredith's family, a person was praying so hard for you that day. Never to be forgotten. God bless

I knew Meredith through model UN while we were students together. I didn't know about her death until today when I was walking by the B-school and saw her beautiful memorial bench, tucked in the corner of a courtyard. I am sitting on her bench while I type this, a gentle breeze russling the leaves, surrounded by the chirping crickets hiding in the flowers.
She was a beautiful, strong woman, full of humor and compassion. I have very fond memories of her, and we spent some very intimate and memorable moments together. I will carry her memories with me always.

MEREDITH, I WAS THINKING OF YOU TODAY. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE ALMOST 10 YEARS HAVE PASSED SINCE YOUR RADIANT LIGHT WAS EXTINGUISHED FOREVER. BUT MEMORIES OF YOU AND YOUR GOODNESS, KINDNESS AND SELFLESSNESS TOWARD OTHERS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN. I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL TO HAVE KNOWN YOU AT UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN. YOU WERE RIDING ON A STAR EVEN THEN!!!

Meredith was such a thoroughly positive, caring, and generous person. So completely the opposite of bin Laden it seems hard to believe that she could ever have been connected to him. But she was, and her death was a painful loss. I'm trying to imagine the person she would be today, in any case keeping us all young at heart, following her dream, inspiring us to do the same.

Remembering you holding our precious duaghter Katie during a visit Canton in 2000. You promised us that you would be the "rich auntee" and spoil Katie beyond measure. We have some great pictures from that visit. Katie has learned about Aunt Meredith and her affection for pretty ponies, horses, friends, and the University of Michigan. Katie has also learned that Meredith was quite possibly the worst tennis player ever to bounce a ball on BostonHill lane and was known to take advantage of a board game when players were not paying attention:).
We miss Meredith terribly during Christmas time and always share stories about her life, Dad (Hank . . . corn curls, Pabst Blue Ribbon, sailing on the sunfish, stamp collecting, gardening, ping pong, and watching late night horror movies), and the rest of the family. May god bless you all . . . the lost Whalen tribe in Michigan.

It's hard to believe you were the little girl always near me in school because our last names where next to each other. We sat near each other in classes, lockers always near each other, yearbooks. I had lost touch with you. We even both lived in NYC at the same time...and shared that fateful day. For me, it was my roommate who worked in the tower. And me waiting to hear if he made it out. He did. Meredith...that day and the days following were awful for all of us living there. I had lists of the "living" and the "missing," because of my job. I always looked for your name on the "living." Of course, that never happened. 8 years. I can't believe so much time as passed. I prefer to believe that you were happy that day before those moments...and are happy now wherever you are.

I know that it's been a long time since you became my guardian angel, but I still miss you terribly. I regret not keeping in touch with you after I graduated from U of M. I miss Saturday nights in Erica's room, watching "Rob Roy" with you, and all of those meals together in the dining hall. I miss you banging on my door on Thursdays for "ER". I can't watch "The Big Chill" without seeing all of us walking to the Michigan theater together for the premier. I will cherish those memories until the day that I join you above. Miss and love you!

Meredith,
We went to high school together in Canton. We never really spoke to each other but we had a few classes together. I always remembered you as one of the most intelligent people in what ever class we were in. Now I can see that you had tons going for you after the Plymouth-Canton High days. I am from New York and have family there. Every year I visit family from Staten Island and I always have to stop by the site. I think of you every time. You and you family will always be in my prayers.

Dear Meredith,
We had a German class together at the University of Michigan. It was my first year at Michigan and your last year. We were in a group together and made a video. I often wonder what happened to that video and I think of you often. Even though our time together was short, you made a lasting positive impression on me! 9/11 changed the entire world and you are not forgotten!

Dear Meredith,
So often I think of you...but when I do it always makes me sad to think of all those you've left behind that wonder why this happened to you. It's hard to believe so many years have passed, but we'll always remember you as a vibrant young woman ready to "whip the world". You are so missed, Meredith; but please watch over us and help guide us through the time we have ahead of us here on earth.
Until we meet again...
Love,

Meredith, We Remember You
In the rising of the sun and its going down,
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
In the opening of the buds and in the rebirth of spring,
In the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of summer,
In the rustling of the leaves and in the beauty of autumn.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
When we are weary and in need of strength,
When we have joys and special celebrations we yearn to share,
So long as we live, you too shall live,
for you are part of us, and We Remember You.
