Karen McGhie Obituary
Karen had a passion for new horizons, fashion and sunshine. She traveled the globe with her husband and daughter, collecting stories and treasures as she went. Karen was vivacious, outgoing and made friends easily wherever she went, many of whom met yearly to spend time together in new places. She also had a passion for cooking and everyone knew her favorite thing to eat was "ham-bugalurs."
She is survived by her daughter Kodi.
She was an animal lover and, in that spirit, the family ask for donations in her name to be made to the Capitol Area Humane Society in lieu of flowers.
