Loris, South Carolina

Miss Meaghan Rhiley Gore, born on Tuesday, August 9, 1994, in Conway, SC, passed peacefully at McLeod Seacoast Hospital on Friday, July 25, 2025.

As a child, Meaghan was a high-spirited, fiery, little girl called "Bean", with personality and humor for days. Her smile lit up every room she entered. In high school chorus she was awarded the "Ella Fitzgerald Award" for having heart and passion through song. She loved her family and many friends. May her memory be a blessing and a testament to all that knew her.

Surviving family include her parents, Clark and Wendy Gore; sister, Morgan Ingram (Colby); grandparents, Princess A. Buffkin, Steve M. Gore (Eugena), and Diana B. Jordan; uncle, Cameron Buffkin (Cassidy); aunt, Katherine Graham; nieces, Zoie and Sophie; and cousins, Dally, Marshall, and Landon Buffkin.

Meaghan was predeceased by her "Papa", Terry R. Buffkin; and step-grandfather, Eugene Jordan.

Visitation will be held on Monday, July 28, 2025, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Hardwick Funeral Home. Funeral Services will be held on Tuesday, July 29, 2025, at 4:00 PM at Lake Swamp Baptist Church with Pastor Dewayne Nobles and Rev. Mike Mathew officiating. Committal Services will follow at Lake Swamp Baptist Church Cemetery. The family requests that memorials be made to Lake Swamp Baptist Church, 4075 Hwy 917, Loris, SC 29569.
