- Megan Carlson
Megan was born March 8, 1998 in Alexandria, the daughter of Todd Carlson and Kristy (Thoennes) Carlson. She attended Discovery Middle School in Alexandria.
In Megan’s short 13 years of life, she will be remembered as an adventurous, colorful, strong and resilient person who loved babies and small kids. Her friends were very important to her and she was a “social butterfly.” Megan loved music, to sing and dance. She was also involved in swimming, skiing and was a professional shopper.
