Sharing the Passing of Special Friends Adios to Carol Mackey and Jan Myers

With gratitude and smiles galore, we remember our dear friend, Carol Mackey who passed away this February. She was an instant friend to all she greeted, and she greeted many during her time at Ghost Ranch. Our condolences to the Mackey family. Carol's daughter Melissa shared her obituary with us. Carol Mackey died Friday night February 5, 2021 at Sombrillo Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Los Alamos, New Mexico. She was 85 years old, in late-stage Alzheimer's, with a broken hip that wouldn't heal. Family and friends will have a gathering at Ghost Ranch when it’s safe to do so.
