Our beautiful Maegen’s spirit is free at last.
Born Maegen Morrison on June 20, 1980, the loving daughter of Angus and SueAnn Morrison. Maegen grew up in Thunder Bay, Ontario where she attended Vance Chapman Elementary and Hillcrest High School.
In the words of Maegen “you weren’t living unless you had a good book”. She discovered her love for reading at the age of 10 and from then on you could often find her face buried in a book. Her passion for reading lead her to Lakehead University where she obtained a degree in English, and found a joy for correcting her mom’s spelling.
