Megan D. Sweet December 11, 1927 - August 29, 2015

Born in Longmont, Colorado to Morgan and Esther Williams, she spent many happy years growing up around the Forks Hotel in Loveland, Colorado.

Megan was a self-taught pianist that went on to learn music theory and composition. She taught piano while living in Manhattan Beach, California, while raising her children. When she owned the "No Name Bar" in Sausalito, California, she brought in a piano for live jazz that continues today.

In the early '70s she worked for Harry & David as a computer programmer.

Megan had a voracious appetite for reading history and politics. She was an advocate for civil rights, education, and peace.

She later became a fiber artist, knitting, crocheting or quilting beautiful sweaters, blankets and dolls.

Megan is survived by her husband of 34 years, Robert Sweet; her daughters Tina West, Tisha Thompson, PJ Clark-Lais; and her son Cliff Clark as well as 10 grandchildren and eight great-grandchildren.

She loved living in Camp Sherman and, up until her diagnosis of Parkinson's, walked daily along the Metolious River stopping for an occasional conversation with friends. Her loving smile will be missed by all.

In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts can be made in her name to Partners in Care Hospice, 2075 N.E. Wyatt Ct. Bend, OR 97701.
