Megan was born February 21, 1992 to Craig and Denise Thomas. She graduated from Springboro High School and Eastern Kentucky University, majoring in Criminal Justice.
Megan attended the Great Oaks Police Academy on August 3, 2015 and graduated November 25, 2015. She was appointed Police Officer for the Springboro Police Department on April 11, 2016. She was a member of the Warren County Ohio Task Force and Crash Reconstruction team and received many awards for her work.
On October 1, 2022, Officer Thomas resigned to join the Hamilton Township Police Department in October 2022. Almost immediately, she made a major arrest on December 14, 2016 of a man trying to lure on-line an 11-year-old girl for a sexual liaison. She was a talented and resolute officer, a committed public servant, and a young professional with an incredibly bright future ahead of her. She excelled in everything she took on and approached every assignment with professionalism, courage, and heart.
She married Matt Graham in September 2024 at Glacier National Park. In December, she was diagnosed with Stage 4 cervical. While enduring chemotherapy, she pushed through and continued to work for the Department on light duty status. The Department, Hamilton Township, and the entire community supported her in her battle. On July 9, 2025, she announced that she completed her treatments.
Not long after her health deteriorated. She died on the evening of November 25, 2025 at the age of 31, exactly ten years from the date that she graduated from the Academy.
She is survived by her husband, Matt Graham; parents, Craig and Denise Thomas; grandmother, Doris Overberg; and brother, Allan (Ashley Edmonds) Thomas; parents-in-law, Mark (Quan) Graham and Shiloh Graham; and brother-in-law, Will (Courtney Mann) Graham.
