McKartneigh held a special place in the hearts of her family and friends and we are deeply saddened to lose such a beautiful young woman.  She enjoyed spending time with her family and friends, riding horses, attending rodeos, and driving the back country roads.  McKartneigh held high aspirations, as her love for people and all kinds of animals fostered a dream inside her to become either a nurse or a veterinarian.
