Meagan Oliver Obituary

Obituary published on Legacy.com by The Memorial Chapel of Waukegan on Feb. 16, 2026.
Meagan Monique Oliver 11/24/1989 – 2/9/2026

With deep sorrow and loving remembrance, we announce the passing of Meagan Monique Oliver. Meagan will be remembered for her radiant spirit, loving heart, and the joy she brought to those around her. A free-spirited soul with endless hope for the future, Meagan lived her life with compassion, creativity, and a deep love for both people and animals. She had a natural gift with children, who were drawn to her warmth and kindness, and animals seemed to love her just as deeply as she loved them. She carried a light within her that shone through her kindness and her humor – especially in the playful moments she shared joking with her mother and siblings.

Meagan was an adept artist with a vivid imagination, expressing herself through her creativity and her passion for cooking, which she shared generously with family and friends. She was also devoted to her family, especially in helping care for her grandparents, showing patience, tenderness, and a sense of responsibility that reflected her beautiful character.

She is survived by Lourdes Harrington-Ruiz; her mother, Curtis Oliver; her father, Celia Arresola; her step mother, Leilani Dixon; her daughter, Vian Oliver and Triston Harrington; her brothers, Bianca Sinsun; her sister, Elba Ruiz; her grandmother, Miguel Ruiz (Carolyn) and Anthony Ruiz (Charlotte); her aunts and uncles, Lydia Ruiz; her aunt, aunts and uncles

Minnie Oliver, Rex Oliver, Rosie Jenkins (Vernon), Lafaye Hooker (BJ), Mastraw Oliver, Earl Oliver Tryone Oliver (Samantha), and Leanne Oliver. Walter Gholston; her biological father, and numerous cousins and other family members. She was preceded in death by her grandfather, Natividad Ruiz, in September 2025.

Meagan's life, though far too short, was filled with love, hope, and promise. She will be deeply missed and forever remembered by her family and all who had the privilege of knowing her.

Meagan's visitation will be held on Sunday, February 22. 2026 from 10:00 am - 1:00 pm at The Memorial Chapel of Waukegan, 1521 Washington Street, Waukegan, IL 60085. Please sign our online guestbook at www.thememorialchapelofwaukegan.com for more information, please call, 847-623-3730.
