Mattie’s Peace Foundation worked with VisArts and UpCounty Community Resources (UCR) to celebrate the legacy of Meghan Jones – who passed away in 2025 following a brief illness.
Meghan, well-known for her “I love life!” attitude, was on the Board of Directors for UCR and volunteer for many community activities – including those hosted by Mattie’s Foundation.
Born with Down syndrome, Meghan as a strong advocate for those with disabilities, and she was a welcoming presence for ALL community members.
The #MeghanLegacy Project is an annual activity to commemorate her spirit, and also her love for Mattie. During February (her birthday month), legacy rocks are painted in her honor. During July (Mattie’s birthday month), the rocks are placed in the Peace Garden of the Mattie Stepanek Park.
Visitors who find a rock can learn more about Meghan with the QR code on the back of each rock, which brings people to this website.
