McKenna B. Fuglie

A life of unlimited potential was taken from us Saturday, September 20, when McKenna Brianne Fuglie, 22, daughter of Blair and Phyllis (Dearnaley) Fuglie of Ephrata, WA, died in a car accident near Ephrata. A celebration of her life will be held Friday, Sept. 26, at 2 p.m. at Quincy First Presbyterian Church, 715 Central Avenue N., Quincy, WA, with Rev. Rich Coghill officiating. Subsequent to organ donation, cremation has taken place, and there will be no visitation prior to the service. Please sign the online guestbook or leave a note for the family at www.kayserschapel.com Arrangements are in care of Kayser’s Chapel & Crematory, Moses Lake. McKenna was born December 8, 1991, the first daughter of Blair and Phyllis, in Portland, OR. The family lived in Portland and then Meridian, ID, for a short time, before moving to Ephrata in 1999. Here she entered second grade and graduated from Ephrata High School in 2010. She was a member of the Ephrata soccer and volleyball teams and was active in Key Club, which started her on a mission of giving to others. Since high school graduation, McKenna was active in the Ephrata Food Bank. Because of her love of giving, and her dedication to that organization, the family asks that those attending her service Friday bring a non-perishable food item for the food bank instead of flowers to the service. McKenna truly believed everyone had good in them, and she sought to find it through her volunteer efforts. Things she liked: Hawaii, country music, bonfires, tattoos, hiking, Red Bull. Things she didn’t like: shopping. “I’d rather sit on the back of a pickup than go shopping.” Her family left to mourn her passing includes her mom and dad, Blair and Phyllis; her brothers Justin and Drake; her mom’s sister Susan Klock and her husband Jim; her dad’s brothers and sisters Jim, Laurelle, Jay, Jill, Sue and Blake and their spouses, and all her cousins. She also leaves the love of her live, Eddie Hubbard, and her beloved dog Charlee. Those she will be joining in Heaven include her grandparents, Dr. O.J. and Phyllis Fuglie and Ralph and Betty Dearnaley, and her aunt, Phyllis’ sister Lisa Claunch. Besides a nonperishable food item, those attending the service are asked to bring any pictures they have of themselves with McKenna for a special display at the church. Go placidly, McKenna. You are a child of the universe, no less than the trees and the stars . . .
