Meghan Lynn Golden-Hiatt

With hearts broken and lives forever changed, we share the passing of Meghan Lynn Golden-Hiatt, who left the world far too soon on Tuesday, March 24, 2026, at just 24 years old. A Celebration of Life honoring Meghan will be held from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., Saturday, June 13, 2026, at Sandford Hall, located at the Scotts Bluff County Fairgrounds in Mitchell, Nebraska. We welcome all family, friends, and everyone who knew and loved Meghan to join us as we come together to share memories, celebrate her life, and honor the impact that she made on those around her. In honor of Meghan, we encourage guests to wear teal or cow print, as those were two things she loved dearly. Memorials may be made in care of the family to be used for her children’s future educational needs. Online condolences may be expressed by visiting Meghan’s obituary page, viewable at www.reverencefuneralparlor.com.

She was born on April 5, 2001, to JoAnn and Robert Golden and Kimberly and Zach Meyer. Meghan will be remembered for her caring and giving heart, as well as her fiery personality. She grew up in Mitchell, Nebraska, where she attended elementary and high school before later residing in Snowflake, Arizona. Above all, Meghan was a devoted and loving mother to her three beautiful children: Marcella, Camila, and Liam. They were the center of her world and her greatest pride and joy. She poured her heart into motherhood, and her children will forever carry her spirit within them, and the love they shared will continue to guide and surround them throughout their lives.

Meghan was a beloved mother, daughter, sister, and friend whose presence will be profoundly missed, but never forgotten. Though Meghan’s time here was short, her impact was immeasurable, and she leaves behind memories she created and love she shared that will continue to live through everyone who had the privilege to know and love her.
