Meghan Soltys Obituary
Born a natural leader, Meghan never escaped a challenge, but rather tackled them with all her tenaciousness and love for life. She intuitively understood how to channel struggle into strength and her radiance aided and comforted those close to her. She had the physique, vigor, and walk of a champion because she was indeed, a champion. Her remarkable motivation and work ethic led her to craft astonishing gymnastic skill and ingenuity very young; An innate energy and ability that she knew how to hone and perfect. She was a respected and accomplished gymnast of the Ocean State School of Gymnastics and Lasalle Academy, as well as an All-State Champion and Regional contender. She passionately pursued her ambitions and shared true unconditional love with amazing people. She was a Certified Personal Trainer, always working hard and having fun. Pure, genuine, and smart; The most beautiful woman with most delightful voice. She is our everlasting inspiration to be yourself and go for the gold.
Visitation will be held Thursday, 4-7 p.m. with her funeral on Friday at 9 a.m. from the PONTARELLI-MARINO Home, 971 Branch Avenue, Providence. A Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated at 10 a.m. in St. Augustine Church, 639 Mount Pleasant Avenue, Providence, followed by burial in St. Ann Cemetery, Cranston.

Dear the Solty's Family and my dear friend Nick,
I am deeply sorry for your tragic loss. Meghan was a beautiful talented girl that would always bring a smile to my face whenever I would bump into her. It is such a shame to see her go so soon. I am still in shock and I pray that God will grant you the strength needed to get through this moment in your life. My most sincere condolences, Meghan will be missed and never forgotten. May her soul rest in peace.

Meghan, through the short time I knew you from working at whole foods I knew you were a special girl. Your smile could melt anyone's heart, and your energy was present even when you were not speaking. Truly a special person. I have been thinking about you since the day we all found out about this tragedy. It's plaguing me as to how we are no longer coexisting in this world. That I can't randomly text you "what's up" - to your family and Nick, I hope that you are strong throughout this tragic time. Thankfully Meghan's light is eternally shinning upon you. Someone so vibrant can never truly be taken away, because her mark is forever on your hearts. God Bless, and may you all be comforted in knowing Meghan Soltys made an impact on soooo many people- I know she knows that, while she's looking down on all of us. All love <3 Ari Falcone

Dear Susan and family,
I was so very saddened to hear about the loss of Meghan. I remember the first time I saw her was at a LaSalle gymnastics meet. She was doing a floor routine to Michael Jackson's "Thriller". I was struck by her talent, her zest for life and a positive nature that was magnetic. Her smile was brilliant and infectious. I hope the memory of that beautiful smile will give you comfort and keep her close.

Dear Susan, Mike, Soltys family, and friends,
I truly am soo soo sorry for this tragedy, I love her soo soo much and I never ever wanted this to happen to someone so beautiful inside and out. I am left broken, empty and speechless. Meghan absolutely was a light more powerful than the sun, she was the strongest person I've ever meet, she brought a smile to anyone who became face to face with her. Meghan was by a long shot the absolute best thing that has and will ever happen to me, she made my world complete. I am so honored to be able to call her the love of my life, she for filled everyone's life with love, happiness, and joy. She was always there for me during the thick and thin, together we made it through anything, a force so strong it could not be reckoned. I will always be here for anyone who is having trouble during this tough time, I owe it to you all for all the times Meghan and you all have been there for me. I love you all like family, you guys have been nothing but comforting and I appreciate you excepting me into your beautiful family. I love you Meghan, thank you for providing us all with you strength during this unbearable time, it's what gets us by day by day. Thank you for all the beautiful memories and unconditional love. Love always, Nick Lasorsa, the Lasorsa family, and of course your furry number one man; rocky.

Dear Susan and family,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I can't imagine what you must be going through. Meghan was a wonderful, beautiful, free spirit. She was beautiful inside and out. Always a joy to have around and to be around. Little Meg "energizer bunny". Always smiling, lighting up the room. She just loved her family. Her face lit up whenever she talked about any member of family, especially her mom. I feel so blessed to have gotten to know her. Meg will be forever loved and forever missed. I pray that God will give you and your family the strength to get through your days ahead. Love and Prayers,

Although I didn't know Meghan, I know she was a friend of Anthony's. I wish I could say something profound to ease your pain, but I do know there are no words to ever take away the pain. When I heard that your sweet, precious child left this earth, my only hope was that Ant was there to welcome her home and hold her in his arms. I understand the pain of losing a child, your precious child. My heart is broken for all of you. My prayers to you and to your whole family.. there is no greater pain than that of losing your child.
