Meddett loved her pet pig, Bella. She treated and took care of Bella as if she were one of the children. Meddett loved making jewelry and operated her own jewelry shop from her home. She learned to design jewelry that would reflect the things that were important in life. Meddett's favorite saying, "meet me by the river" lead to her favorite pastime where she enjoyed fishing and relaxing by the water. She also loved to paint, sing, write poetry, and spoil her animals. Most of all, she loved spending time with her two children, Ethan and Lydia Barnes. Meddett developed a strong bond with them and she fostered an environment of self-worth and open communication. Her greatest supporter was her wife, Brandy. Meddett will be dearly missed by her family and friends.
