She was born to the late John Edward and Edna Leona (Fullmer) Meredith on Apr. 30, 1919, in Lander, WY. She had one brother, John E. Meredith Jr. who preceded her in death in 1988. As kids they rode horses to the one room Countryman School until high school when they rode the bus 20 miles to Lander, WY. In 1938 she graduated from Fremont County Vocational High School, then married Charles "Smokey" Clyde Rowan who preceded her in death in 1979. They made their home together in Wyoming, before relocating to Medford, Oregon in 1949.
In June 2000 she married Edward K. Ogilvie who survives and they resided at Glenwood Mobile Home Park in Medford, OR.

In 1962 she joined the Moose Lodge and ascended to the rank of Senior Regent. In 2005 she joined Beta Sigma Phi. She was a lifetime traveler and took many trips with her husband, family and friends. Her favorite destinations were Hawaii and the Oregon Coast. She and her family took many camping trips. She was always on the go and loved driving her friends to church, shopping, dancing, Britt performances and other events. She spent her life caring for others and was always there for others whenever she could help. She adored all types of music; especially Jazz. Dancing was a favorite pastime, including the Charleston, the Twist and slow dancing. She loved flowers.
