Megan Cordell

Megan Leigh Cordell, 32, of Idaho Falls, passed away September 25, 2026, at Eastern Idaho Regional Medical Center. Meggie's passing followed a serious health crisis during a difficult period in her life. After a month and a half long hospitalization, the dedicated efforts of the medical staff were unsuccessful, and her body could not overcome the complications of her illness.

Megan was born April 9, 1994, in Lakewood, Washington. She attended school in Mount Vernon, Washington, graduating from Emerson Alternative High School in 2012. After graduation, she moved to Idaho Falls with Brennan “Bear” Robison to begin a new chapter in her life.

Meggie was an extremely talented photographer, starting her own business, Meggie Leigh Photography in 2011. She was also a music enthusiast and supporter of up-and-coming independent musicians. Meggie loved using her platform to support artists and entertainers of all kinds, giving them encouragement, visibility, and a place to share the things they loved. She was also a talented creator of jewelry and pretty things, and a gamer, loving Skyrim and Pokémon.

Megan is survived by her Momma and Daddy, Clint and Linda Queen; son, Brailyn Patrick (Bane); ex-husband, Brennan “Bear;” siblings, Thomas Wayne Queen, Sandra (Chino) Phillips, and Helen Queen; uncle, Eric Queen; father, David Cordell; boyfriend, Justin Jaramillo; roommate. Emily Kokko; and many cousins, nieces, and nephews, as well as an extensive family of close friends and associates.

Her passing came far too soon, and we are all struggling to make sense of why this happened, while dealing with the grief of losing someone who meant so much to so many people.

There will not be a formal service. A Celebration of Life Memorial is being planned for Meggie, and details will be shared once arrangements are complete.

A GoFundMe page has also been created to help cover Megan's final expenses. If you are unable to donate, sharing this fundraiser is an incredible way to help us reach the many people whose lives Meggie touched.

For anyone who may need a little extra support, for themselves or someone they love, a list of resources is available on the GoFundMe page. https://gofund.me/71f45b409
