Meier, Donald W., 88, passed away on Tuesday August 31, 2021, at Mercy South Hospital in St. Louis after years of battling multiple heath issues.

Don survived Polio while growing up in the Grove area of St. Louis and graduated from Roosevelt High School. On June 19, 1954 he was united in marriage to Pauline Kneiser. They were married for 63 years until Pauline’s death in 2017. He worked at Stupp Bros. Bridge and Iron Co. for over 40 years before retiring in 1996. Don enjoyed “helping” in any way he could. Notable volunteering activities included working at his church, St. Johns United Church of Christ, volunteering as a Boy Scout leader, and serving as President of the Trautwein Elementary School PTA.. Don enjoyed traveling and watching the Cardinals, but nothing gave him more pleasure than watching his grandchildren’s activities and sporting events.
