Meredith Poole Obituary
37, of Louisville, died in her home on June 26, 2016, after a long illness.
Meredith was born on July 2, 1978 to Tom and Glenda Poole in Louisville. She graduated from Male High School in 1996 and also attended the University of Louisville. Meredith enjoyed photography, loved tennis and her precious cats. She was preceded in death by her maternal grandparents, Grace and James Moody of Franklin, TN, and paternal grandparents Gordon and Mabel Poole of Louisville, and is survived by her parents, numerous uncles, aunts and cousins.
It was Meredith's desire that her body be donated to the University of Louisville Medical School. We are comforted in our loss by knowing that others will benefit because of her precious gift. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to the Humane Society in Meredith's name, or, simply just be kind to others. A private memorial service will be held at a later date.

So sorry to hear of Meredith's passing. I will always remember her beautiful smile. She was so gentle and such a kind person. She came out to Colorado with my brother Scott years ago. I took them hiking in Rocky Mountain National Park. She laughed that whole trip. Rest in peace Meredith.

Tom & Glenda,
I cannot express how sorry I am to hear of Meredith's passing. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. My memories of Meredith date back 30 or so years, and I will always cherish the time I spent with her. She was one of my first best friends, and she will live forever in my mind. Thank you for all of the kindness you showed me when I spent the night and came over to play in our elementary school years. I will never forget those times. My love to you both....
