Meaghan Alice Lenke
Beloved Mother, Daughter, Sister, and Friend
Meaghan Alice Lenke, 46, of Rochelle, IL, suddenly passed away on July 23rd, 2025. She was born on November 13th, 1978, in Downers Grove, IL. Meaghan was a vibrant, loving soul who brought light and creativity into the lives of all who knew her.
Meaghan had a deep appreciation for nature and found peace and inspiration in the outdoors. She treasured time spent with friends and family, and she expressed her love through meaningful connections, thoughtful gestures, and creativity in the kitchen. She had a warm sense of humor, a kind spirit, and a natural ability to make others feel at ease in her presence.
She is survived by her cherished daughter, Peyton Canady, who was her greatest joy. Meaghan also leaves behind her mother, Donna McGovern; her father, Gary Lenke, and stepmother, Kathy Lenke. She is survived by her sisters: Samantha Raftery (Jared) and their children Kennedy, Landon, Nolan, and Emmett; Nicole Regan (Matthew) and their children Leila and Henry; Eryn Lenke and her daughter Jordyn; and Caitlin Gleason (David Bonini) and their children Isaac, Grayson, Anthony, and Bodie. She will also be lovingly remembered by her loving fiance, James Robinson III, and by Marlon Canady, Peyton's father.
Meaghan is also survived by her two grandmothers, Grandma Lenke and Grandma Dee Dee, who both held a special place in her heart.
Meaghan's presence brought comfort, laughter, and love to those around her. Her memory will live on in the hearts of her family, her friends, and all whose lives she touched.
A celebration of life will be planned at a later date. In honor of Meaghan, the family invites you to enjoy the outdoors, create something with your hands, or share a moment of joy with someone you love.
