Kaylin Dawn McGhee, 8 years of age, of Marion, passed away at 2:57 pm on Saturday, August 6, 2022, at Riley Hospital for Children in Indianapolis. She had suffered from complications due to a house fire which took her family home. She was born in Marion, Indiana, on Sunday, August 25, 2013, the cherished daughter of Lindsey McGhee and Walter “Wally” Duncan.
Kaylin was just getting ready to start 3rd grade at Allen Elementary School. She adored going to school, especially going to The Training Center after classes. Kaylin loved her teachers and classmates. She enjoyed watching YouTube videos, playing with her cat, playing with her toys, and being outside. Kaylin had a very big, caring, and loving heart and always wanted to lift the spirits of others, especially with a hug. She was fearless and wasn’t afraid to try new things. She was very bright for her age. Although Kaylin left this world too soon, she left an imprint on many and will be missed dearly.
