Celebrating the life of
Meredith McCorkle
July 21, 1974 - July 04, 2026
Meredith McCorkle, age 51, passed away Saturday, July 4, 2026. Meredith was born in Savannah, Georgia on July 21, 1974, to the late Robert Lee McCorkle, Jr. and Sandrae Jenness McCorkle. She attended St. Andrews School and graduated with a B.S. in Education and a Masters Degree in Elementary Education from the Mary Frances Early College of Education at the University of Georgia. Meredith was an elementary school teacher for more than 20 years in the Savannah Chatham County Public School System including Spencer Elementary School and Largo-Tibet Elementary School. Following retirement, Meredith found a love for crafting. She was always looking for more oyster shells and collecting fabrics and napkins for her projects. She started her own business, Ocean Remnants, selling her crafted goods around Savannah and on-line.
Meredith is survived by her brother Robert L. McCorkle, III and sister-in-law Laurel Williams McCorkle of Savannah, Georgia, and her niece and nephew Katherine Feriby McCorkle and Robert Lee McCorkle, IV.

I'm so very sorry for the loss of Meredith. I'm in shock. We were together for 2 years. She was so smart and talented and had amazing taste. She taught me so much. I remember how much she loved her family, especially her niece and nephew. Thinking of you all during this difficult time.

I am so saddened by the loss of Sandy and Meredith. The McCorkles lived across the street from me in Mayfair and Meredith was my flower girl in my wedding. This is truly a very hard thing to understand but God has gained two angels!

I was Meredith's first grade teacher at Hancock Day School. I have such sweet memories of her. She was a bright spot in my classroom. I am so sad to hear of her passing. I also loved her mother, Sandrae. She was a very respected and admired educator. I send the family my love and will keep them in my prayers. May God comfort you at this difficult time.
