Meredith Lindsey Trapp

A Virginia girl who fell in love with a little town called Bend Meredith Lindsey Trapp, age 27, passed away suddenly on the morning of Sunday, April 7, 2013 in Bend, OR. She was born April 21, 1985 in Annapolis, MD, the daughter of William John Trapp and Jamie Paroby Trapp. She was a beautiful young lady, known for her bright blue eyes, tremendous smile, and her vibrant, authentic, and compassionate temperament. Her contagious laughter, energy, and you-first disposition left a positive imprint on all of those around her. In 2006, she moved from Harrisonburg, VA, a rural farm community where she grew up, to Bend, OR, a town that she fell in love with which would become home to her the remainder of her life. She graduated from Oregon State University with a degree in Natural Resources and, as of late, was awaiting acceptance into nursing school, the ideal career for such a warm person. Meredith loved Bend, its warm people, and its mountains and rivers. It was in Bend where she met her fiancé and many of her best friends in the world. Meredith will be so dearly missed by all that knew her, and will forever be remembered for her positive spirit and ability to make those around her better people. She is survived by her parents, William and Jamie Trapp; Brother, Christopher Trapp; grandparents, Walter and Alice Paroby, and William Trapp; fiance Callahan Dillon; numerous aunts and uncles; and dog, Juniper. A memorial service was held Saturday April 13, 2013 at Shepherdsfield in Sisters, OR. There will be an additional service at Bluestone Vineyard in Bridgewater, VA on April 27, 2013.
