Nicole Meguiar Passes Away

A memorial service for Nicole Meguiar, daughter of SEMA Hall of Fame inductee Barry Meguiar, was held at Benedict Castle in Riverside, California, on June 27. She had passed away June 20 at the age of 49, according to SEMA.

Meguiar grew up in Southern California and studied business marketing at Point Loma Nazarene University. A fourth-generation member of the family car-care product business, she was the former director of marketing at Meguiar’s. In 2014 Nicole founded the Benedict Castle Concours in Riverside, California, which raised funds over the past six years for Teen Challenge, a faith-based drug and alcohol treatment program credited with a notable rate of success, according to SEMA.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Teen Challenge in Nicole’s name.
