Megan graduated from Springville High School in 1995. She loved to travel and was proficient in Spanish. Megan was a dog whisperer. She advocated for people who were mistreated. In the end, Megan had difficulty discerning between those who were trying to help and those who wished her harm. We extend our gratitude to family, friends, neighbors, and caregivers who helped Megan throughout her life.

Megan was preceded in death by her biological father, Daniel Hammond, her adoptive father, Howard Ruff, her biological brother Brian Hammond-Ritch, and her adoptive brother, Ivan Ruff. Megan is survived by Mia (her beloved boxer); her biological family: Wanda Ritch (mother); siblings: Linda (and Gerald) Carruthers, Stuart (and Sheridan) Hammond, Martha (and Brian) Jackson, Melissa, Kathlynn (and Mark) Knight, D. Brendan Hammond, and 15 nieces and nephews; her adoptive family: Kay Ruff (mother); siblings: Larry (and Jennifer) Ruff, Eric (and Janine) Ruff, David (and Deon) Ruff, Pam (and Rick) Patterson, Sharon (and Greg) Slater, Anthony (and Kellie) Ramon, Patty (and Andy) Simpson, David (and Cathi) Steinberg, Liza Spencer, Timothy (and Brooke) Ruff, Deb (and Lars) Rasmussen, Terri Lynn (and Kaleigh) Bond, and 76 nieces and nephews.
