Megan Mary Trainer

Born February 19, 1968, in Oreland, PA. Megan was one of five children blessed to Andrew and Nancy Trainer (nee Sheeran). She entered peacefully into rest in Moraga on May 11, 2025, following a courageous battle with cancer.

Megan is a graduate of Drexell University; she was a standout at Bishop McDevitt High School in field hockey and volleyball and earned a scholarship to compete on the Drexel Dragons volleyball team.

She enjoyed a long and successful career in Capital Markets, working the last 5 years at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco.

Megan was an avid fan of St. Mary's Gaels Basketball, enjoyed collecting art, travel and summers in Stone Harbor, New Jersey with family and friends.

She is survived by her beloved sons Luka and Grady, her devoted mother, Nancy Trainer and her siblings and their spouses, Andrew & Paulette, Kevin & Jenny, Bill & Mary and Nancy. Megan is survived by 7 nieces and nephews.

She was preceded by her father, Andrew in 2023.

Family and friends are invited to gather at 10:15 am on Thursday, June 5, 2025 for Mass at St. Monica's Catholic Church, 1001 Camino Pablo, Moraga. Megan will be laid to rest at Queen of Heaven Cemetery in Lafayette immediately following Mass.

When I first saw the name "Megan Trainer," I couldn´t help but wonder-wait, the Meghan Trainor? Did the pop star leave Hollywood behind to join the Fed? It gave me a good laugh and made her instantly memorable. But as I got to know Megan, I quickly realized she was a star in her own right.

We met during an exam-we worked together, supported each other, and over time, a friendship quietly grew. I got to learn about her life before the Fed, her incredible dedication to her work, her family, and especially her children. She was always genuine, always kind, and always brought a sense of calm with her-truly a breath of fresh air.

We were even planning a retirement party together for a colleague. She offered to chip in and told me, "Well, I don´t have Venmo or PayPal, but I´ll ask my son to send you the money." That was just her-straightforward, thoughtful, and always willing to help, even if it meant a little workaround.

Megan had this quiet strength and warmth that stayed with you, and I know I´ll always remember her for that. My heart goes out to her family-I hope her legacy of kindness and sincerity lives on in her children and all of us who were lucky enough to know her.

May she rest in peace.
And for the record-she might not have been that Meghan Trainor, but she definitely made our lives a little more "All About That Grace."

My thoughts are with Megan´s family and loved ones during this heartbreaking time.
Megan was not only a remarkable colleague, but also a truly wonderful person-kind, dedicated, and full of quiet strength. She touched the lives of so many, both in and out of the workplace. She will be deeply missed by many, but forgotten by none who had the privilege of knowing her.

My deepest sympathy. I worked with Megan at the Federal Reserve before I retired in 2022. I just heard about her passing. I´m very sorry for your loss. Megan was a great woman, a wonderful human being, and a dedicated colleague. I pray you will find comfort in the memories you shared. I will remember her fondly and pray for your family.
