Dorothy A. (Breckon) Meacheam
Went home to be with Jesus, September 29, 2001, after a long fight against cancer. She was always cheerful and brave in the face of her illness, and often comforted her family instead of the other way around. Dorothy was an active member of Trinity United Methodist Church in Yuma, Arizo- na and Orting Christian Church in Orting, Washington. She was a Past Matron of Naomi Chapter in Puyallup and Guiding Star Chapter in Sumner, Order of Eastern Star. She also served as Royal Matron of the Order of Amaranth of Puyallup and Yuma. She loved ceramics, crafts of all kinds, sewing, and especially her family. Dorothy leaves behind her husband of 54 years, Clifford L. Meacheam; her sister, Eleanor (George) Peter; daughters Karen (Gary) McCamant, Cindy (Dennis) Dargan, Helen (Stephen) Botsford; their son, Steven (Joan) Meacheam; 10 grandchildren, 5 great-grandchildren, cousins, nieces, nephews, and lots of dear friends. A memorial service will be held at Orting Christian Church, 112 Varner Street in Orting, Washington, at 2 p.m. on October 7th. Donations to the American Cancer Society instead of flowers would mean so much more to her memory. She loved the Lord with all her heart and proved this truth all of her life.

Your life here on earth was so filled with demons and disease, that now I hope you have found the comfort and love you so desperately wanted, in the arms of your mother and our Lord Jesus. I hope you know how much I really love you and can see it now in my heart. - Kevin
