Barbara Meikle Obituary
Barbara "Bonnie" J. (Watt) Meikle
1943 - 2018
Barbara "Bonnie" J. Meikle, 74, of Colorado Springs went to be with her Lord and Savior on Friday March 2, 2018 at her residence. She was born on November 25, 1943 in Cleveland, OH, daughter of Hamilton and Jean (Baker) Watt. She graduated (1962) from New Canaan, HS, New Canaan, CT. She received a Bachelor's degree in Education from Baldwin Wallace College, Berea, OH.
Bonnie taught primary school in Anaheim, CA, IL, WI, the Philippians, and Germany. She came to know the Lord and was married on August 10, 1974 to Terry A. Meikle of Gustavus, OH. They had four children (John (Melissa) Meikle of Melbourne, FL, Sally (Michael) Jahnke of Colby, WI, Phillip (Carla) Meikle of Germany, Andrew (Pam) Meikle of Loveland, CO, and 13 grandchildren.
Terry and Bonnie lived in Sheboygan, WI before moving to Colorado Springs in 2001. Singing was a joy to her. She sang in the church choir and various choirs throughout her life including in Sheboygan and Colorado Springs Chorale. She loved studying the Bible. She loved her husband, children and grandchildren.
She will be greatly missed by all who loved her and yet we rejoice that she is now present with her Savior. She was preceded in death by her parents and brother.
