The Havelock Chamber of Commerce has changed a scholarship’s name to Megan McGarvey, a board member who passed away last Wednesday, while the German shepherd rescue group she was volunteering with has expressed its sorrow at her passing.
The chamber also announced a celebration of life service for her to be held Thursday, June 3, at 2 p.m. at the Havelock Tourist & Event Center.
McGarvey, who has also worked at CarolinaEast Health System’s public relations department for 30-plus years, was delivering a rescue dog on May 22 when it bit her. As a result of the incident, she developed a blood infection that took her life four days later.
