Carol Meador
Funeral services will be held Monday, Sept. 25 for Carol Lorraine Meador, a longtime resident of Elk Grove and an “incredible volunteer” for Project R.I.D.E. Mrs. Meador, 59, died suddenly at home Sept. 18, 2006.
She and her husband Larry first became involved with R.I.D.E. in the 1970s because of their daughter Cheryl, one of the first regular participants in the therapeutic horseback riding program for special needs children and adults. She chaired the spaghetti feed which has been an annual fundraiser for 22 years, personally soliciting businesses for donations for the event and working with volunteers decorating and running the dinners.
Although not a horse person according to R.I.D.E staff, she soon began working in the arena as a side-walker then as a leader, then later hauling horses in the trailer from the ranch to the arena. When the horses were moved from Wilton to Herald, the new facility had to be readied and Mrs. Meador arranged for the Elk Grove Lions Club to tackle the project.
In the 1980s she became involved with the R.I.D.E board, serving as president, vice president and even secretary for a year. She made many presentations promoting Project R.I.D.E. to various organizations and set up information booths at many events, arranging for volunteers to man the booths, and raising funds for the organization.
“Carol has been involved in all facets of the (R.I.D.E.) program,” said staff members who were still trying to realize that one of their leading volunteers was gone.
Daughter Jennifer called her mother a professional volunteer, citing the years she spent with Sheldon 4-H Club, first as cooking leader and then as club leader. Baking, canning, cooking, arts and crafts were a big part of her life and she was known to feed her volunteers on many occasions. She was also a member of the Red Hat Society.
Mrs. Meador was born March 25, 1947 in Stockton and grew up in various towns throughout the state as her father, Walter J. “Tiny” Harris was a correctional officer for the state. He preceded her in death.
Carol and Larry Meador were married 37 years ago and moved to Elk Grove shortly after the wedding, in 1970. He survives her as do her daughters Cheryl Lynn and Jennifer Ann Meador all of Elk Grove; mother Imogene Harris and sister Linda Miller both of Woodland; and nephews James Gerald Loesch of Benicia and Jeffery Charles Loesch of Woodland.
