Celebrating the Life of Meredith King 1950-2024
The Kaleden Community honors the life of a Community Champion, a polished Strategist, a Visionary, a Historian, an Archivist, and an exemplary Volunteer through this website. Meredith contributed to numerous community initiatives and organizations, including the HUB, the Kaleden Community Website, Kaleden Museum, Kaleden Archives, Kaleden Community Church, and various non-profit organizations in Canada and overseas. She consistently devised ideas to improve people's lives, provide essential services, and create a better life for all.
Her dedication to Hope International Development was profound, and a personal pinnacle for her was the journey to Ethiopia to witness firsthand the water systems constructed through the funds she had a hand in raising. Equally captivated by the history of Kaleden, she devoted many of her latter years to founding the museum and documenting the lives, tales, and records of Kaleden's pioneers, preserving them for posterity in Skaha Matters, Kaleden Website and Archives. She passed away peacefully at Penticton Regional Hospital on April 1, 2024, surrounded by her loved ones. Meredith leaves behind her husband Bill, daughter Manery, siblings Doug (Viv), Elaine (Bill), Barb (Jon), and Judith (Randy), sisters-in-law Sandy (Andy) and Andrea (Keith), her chosen children Cassy and Devon, countless friends, and a large, dearly loved extended family. May her soul rest in eternal peace. Departed - yet eternally remembered. Her legacy endures!
