Meredith spent her youth involved in many sports and activities. She loved to snowboard and ski, and enjoyed years playing ringette and soccer. You may be surprised to learn that she was an accomplished Highland dancer. She competed in Highland Dancing Competitions in Nova Scotia and also showed promise on the violin.
In 1994, Meredith earned her Bachelor of Arts as a member of UNBC’s inaugural class. She went on to receive her Masters of Education (Coaching Studies) from the University of Victoria in 1996. She then returned to Prince George to work at Pacific Sport and Intersect, making a difference in the lives of youth for many years.
In 2016, to the surprise of many, Meredith or “Mer”, opened Victory Paint & Mercantile with her long-time friend and co-worker JP. She thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of opening a business, and loved meeting so many different people through her work. She was very proud of this store and enjoyed all those who stopped in for a coffee or a breakfast sandwich.
We would like to extend our sincerest thanks to our extended family in Nova Scotia, and across North America. We are grateful for the outpouring of support and kindness from all.
We would also like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Drs' Neary, Preston and Mader. You went above and beyond. An additional thank you to Dr. Sainchuk for having those difficult conversations with compassion and honesty. You felt what we were going through and it showed.
Thank you also to the nurses in Emergency, IMU: Angela, Georgia and Amal and many others. Thank you to Jen K for helping us navigate such a difficult time. Lastly, to the staff at Hospice House thank you for your empathy and kindness.
Meredith cherished her friends and family above all else, as we cherished her. We must acknowledge the outpouring of kindness from all her friends, which has been truly overwhelming. Meredith was certainly touched by it! We will all miss her kindly spirit, colourful language and unmistakable laugh.
Meredith will be forever missed by her mother Anne Bogle, sister Nancy (Michel) Bogle, brother John (Allison) Bogle, nieces and nephews Duncan, Lucy, George, Clara, Sam, dear friend and business partner JP, her extended family, and many friends. Meredith was predeceased by her father John “Harold” Bogle.
Meredith’s celebration of life will take place at 1:30PM on April 14th at the Marriott Hotel, 900 Brunswick Street, Prince George.
Donations in memorial can be made to the Prince George Community Foundation- Bogle Endowment.
A trail in her name, Meredith Bogle’s Way, is already established by our cousin Dale Bogle in Castlereagh, Nova Scotia.
