Meghan Alyssa Ollivant, age 31, recently returned to Texas from New York, NY, passed away Sunday, July 24, 2022. She was born July 17, 1991, in Plano to Rhonda Michelle (Smithie) and Timothy Dean Ollivant. Meghan obtained her bachelor's degree from Texas State University and worked in the hotel industry as a Senior Sales Coordinator. She was a wonderful daughter, sister, and friend to many.
Meghan was an accomplished actress that was passionate about musical theater. At the age of 5, she began acting in Granbury Opera House’s production of The Sound of Music. She continuously pursued that passion in school productions, in local theater and, most recently, in a professional casting of The Wizard of Oz. Equal to her passion for theater was her passion for all things Disney. Meghan’s infectious smile could be seen on display at any Disney park, at any Disney production or simply watching her favorite Disney movies. Meghan was dearly loved and will be greatly missed by all those who knew her.
Meghan is survived by her parents, Tim and Rhonda Ollivant of Prosper; her sister, Lindsay Ollivant of Las Vegas, Nevada; her grandparents, Robert and Cynthia Martinez of Granbury, Texas, James and Gerry Ollivant of Roseburg, Oregon, Joanna Smithie of Granbury, Texas; aunts and uncles, Mike and Robin Radice, Michael and Joanna “Mojo” Smithie, Kim and Rick DeFoe, Kellee and Don Millar, Lisa Ollivant, Tracie and Monty Martin, and Jill and Greg Desau; as well as numerous cousins and a host of friends.
She is preceded in death by her grandmother, Mary “Nana” Vallala, and grandfather, Billy “Papa” Smithie.
