Meredith Mackay, 28, died unexpectedly on Monday, October 20, 2014. She is survived by her mother Kathy Doherty, step-father, Alan Doherty and daughter Leilah Mackay.
Meredith grew up in North Chelmsford and Methuen, and most recently lived in Lowell.
Meredith was a good person who loved her daughter and family. She enjoyed family gatherings, as well as nature walks, the beach, taking care of animals and spending time with her daughter.
She always had a special place in her heart for the elderly, especially her great-grandfather, Joseph Barry, who passed away in 2009. She had also been a care-giver for the elderly as well.
As an only child, Meredith leaves a large extended family, including many cousins, aunts and uncles, and her grandparents.
A service was held at the Kenneth H. Pollard Funeral Home in Methuen at an earlier date.
