Megan Goeltz, age 22 of Hudson, beloved daughter of Tom and Wendy Goeltz, died accidentally Monday February 29, 2016 at Regions Hospital in St. Paul where she was brought following an automobile accident. Megan was born on February 19, 1994 in West Allis, Wisconsin; the daughter of Thomas and Wendy (Wolf) Goeltz. She attended Prairie Elementary School in Hudson before graduating from Hudson High School in the class of ‘2012. While in high school, she was a cheerleader for the Cheer and Stunt team. As a young girl at Pooh Corner preschool, they visited the local nursing home. It was here she developed her love of the elderly and always wanted to help them. She furthered her education at WITC in New Richmond where she proudly received her Certified Nursing Assistant. For the past four years, she has been a CNA for the same nursing home she visited growing up, Christian Community Home in Hudson.

Megan will be remembered a free spirited soul, who was feisty, spunky, and passionate about what she believed in. She loved the outdoors; hiking at the Willow River State Park was her favorite. On the other hand, she enjoyed doing the things girls like to do too, fixing her hair and nails and going to concerts (especially MGK). But without a doubt, the greatest gift that made her smile was her daughter Paisley. Paisley became a blessing in so many ways for Megan who cherished being a mom. It gave her a true meaning of life to which she embraced. The two were inseparable and their dance parties will always be fondly remembered.

Megan loved going to church camp each summer at Camp Tamarack in Waupaca, WI. She had an opportunity to meet new friends from around the state of Wisconsin and beyond that developed into lifelong friendships.

Megan will remain in the hearts of her parents Tom and Wendy; daughter Paisley; sister Melissa; brother Gavin; significant other Jordan Husted, maternal grandparents John and Patricia Wolf of Colgate, WI; maternal uncle Scott (Becky) Wolf of Richfield, WI; paternal grandparents Earl and Gloria Goeltz of Colgate, WI; paternal uncle Michael (Jilly Lund) Goeltz of Wanderoos, WI, as well as her cousins. She is preceded in death by her great grandparents.

Visitation will be from 2pm to 6pm prior to the service also at Bethel Lutheran Highlands campus Sunday afternoon. Interment will be private.
