It is with both heavy hearts and deep gratitude that we share Meghan’s obituary:

Meghan Eileen Beller Sterett

Meghan fought with a grace, courage, and faith that inspired everyone who walked beside her. She was a devoted mother & wife, a loyal friend, and a constant source of light. Even in the hardest moments, her strength gave the rest of us strength. We honor her beautiful life and the legacy of love she leaves in Dominic, Isabel, Justin, and Abigail.

Many of you have prayed, given, and stood with our family throughout this journey. Your kindness has carried us more than you know. 

Every donation goes directly toward helping Dominic, Isabel, Justin, and Abigail with immediate needs, household stability, and the long-term care that Meghan hoped for them.

Thank you for loving our family so well. Thank you for helping us carry Meghan’s light forward. We are forever grateful.

Dear friends and family,

Meghan is with Jesus. 

At 10:56 Sunday night she entered into her eternal rest. On the feast day of St. Andrew we ask for his intercession and that, just as he introduced St. Peter to Jesus, he do the same for Meghan in Heaven. 

Meghan’s life was a blessing to everyone she met! Please continue to pray for Dominic, Isabell, Justin, Abigail, and the entire Sterett and Beller families. 

As soon as we can, arrangements will be shared. 

May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, Rest in Peace.

God bless you all!

Dear friends and family,

Thank you for your continued prayers. We send this update to all of you with a heavy heart. After consultation with their doctors on Monday this week, Meghan and Dominic felt it was the right time to ask for a timeline as Meghan's pain has been steadily worsening over the last few weeks. Sadly, it is likely she only has around a month left to live, possibly less.

We continue to pray for a miracle, of course, and do so with great trust in God's plan for Meghan, the Sterett family, and all of us. Barring that miracle though, this is the medical reality we are facing. Please pray for Meghan, Dominic, and their children, Isabel, Justin, and Abigail. If it be God's will to call her home in the coming weeks, we surrender Meghan to His will, as difficult as that is.

Meghan and Dominic would like to express their gratitude for all the prayers and financial support throughout this journey. Your love has carried them through their hardest days. As we now face her final goodbyes, any financial support will go directly toward her end-of-life care, funeral expenses, and support for Dominic and the children.

"In my Father's house are many rooms; if it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And when I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also."

John 14:2-3

God bless you all!

Original Post:

Dear family and friends,

As many of you know, our sister-in-law, Meghan Beller Sterett, recently received a diagnosis of stage 4 pancreatic cancer. While saddened and shocked by this news, we are in awe of Meghan and Dominic’s heroic hope and trust in Divine Providence. 

Their entire family is blessed beyond words at the outpouring of love and support with which you have already surrounded them. But above all, the assurance of your prayers has given them great peace during this time. We know this storm of prayers has only just begun!

The discovery of Meghan's cancer comes at a time when their family is already in a place of transition. In June of 2023, thanks to Dominic's ability to work remotely, their family embarked on a year long adventure around the country in their camper. After concluding their journey last August, they and their three children returned to Front Royal and moved into a temporary rental as they discerned where to settle permanently.

Meghan will soon undergo a biopsy and begin initial therapies. The full scope of her treatment regimen is not yet established, but it will likely involve travel, which will add a complex layer of financial burden to the overall medical and family expenses. Dominic and Meghan are self-insured through an excellent cost-sharing provider, but the cost of medical treatment and adjunct therapies will far exceed their coverage. It is in times like these that the generosity of friends and family is more important than ever. We ask you to prayerfully consider supporting them financially in whatever ways you can as they navigate the long road ahead.

May God bless each and every one of you for the support and generosity you have shown thus far, and may we all strive to be open to the inspiration of the Holy Spirit as we unite in prayer for our dear Dominic and Meghan.
