Wagga Wagga mother of three Megan Fisher dropped dead doing her make-up

A pregnant mother-of-three who collapsed while doing her make-up and died has been escorted to her final resting place by a police guard of honour. 

Megan Fisher, 39, was preparing to head into town in Wagga Wagga, in the NSW Riverina region, on October 5 when the mother-of-three dropped dead. 

She left behind her three young sons Josh, 19, Zac, 17, and Levi, 9, and longtime police officer partner and mortgage broker Matt Owen.

Her devastated family and friends paid their final respects at her funeral service at Alan Harris McDonald Chapel, in Wagga Wagga in the NSW Riverina, on Thursday.

Ms Fisher’s children lit candles by her side, Mr Owen held back tears as he recalled the moment the pair met, and her coffin was given a police escort to the cemetery.

The poem She Is Not Gone was included in the funeral prayer book, which captured the family’s grief and love for the late 39-year-old nutritionist and pre-school worker.

‘Ease your grief, she is not gone, For in your heart she lingers on. Her smile, her laugh, her special way, Will comfort you from day to day,’ the poem read.

‘You’ll feel her presence in the breeze, That dances gently, through the trees. And it’s her face that you shall see, When you’re in need of company. 

‘At any time, you can recall, The love you shared… you saved it all. And in time, more than anything, You’ll find peace in remembering.’

In an interview with the Saturday Telegraph, Ms Fisher’s brother Ben described her death as a ‘shock’. 

Mr Fisher said that his sibling was ‘fit and healthy’. The cause of her death remains unknown.

‘The more people you talk to, the more you realise everyone has the same opinion that Megan was so loved,’ he told the Telegraph.
