IN LOVING MEMORY OF
Meighan Michelle
Golick Marquis
July 21, 1971 – February 2, 2026
Meighan Marquis, 54, of Grand Junction Colorado, passed away on February 2, 2026, after a courageous 5-year battle with cancer. Born on July 21, 1971, in Santa Rosa, Meighan grew up in California wine country where she attended St. Helena High School. Her life was an adventure filled with color, heart, spontaneity – a reflection of her high energy, unpredictable, and undeniably warm spirit.
Meighan’s wanderlust took her far and wide, from a year spent living on the beach in Costa Rica to travels across New York, Boston, and the coast of Main. She eventually settled in Lake County where she bought a small farm, raised goats, made artisan cheese, and thrived in real estate. Later she moved to Grand Junction, continuing her work in real estate and forming deep friendships that became the fabric of her life.
Known for her love of cooking, entertaining, gardening and river rafting, Meighan was the heartbeat of every gathering. She cherished her time at the VFW with her many friends and proudly participated in community activities.
Meighan is survived by her beloved children, Morgan Bendowski of Denver; Griffin and Chloe Bendowski of Grand Junction; brother Marc Golick and niece Makena of Santa Rosa, CA; and mother MaryEllen Lamothe of Rio Vista, CA.
Funeral services will be held at Brown’s Mortuary at 1PM Friday, February 6th, followed by a celebration of life at the VFW from 2-4 PM. All are welcome.
