Megan L Currie

Megan Leslie Currie, 62, passed away Saturday, September 3, 2016, at home in Clemson, South Carolina after a long and courageous battle with cancer. She was the daughter of Donald and Alice (Campbell) Currie. She is survived by her long-time partner, Joel Simpson of Clemson, and her daughter, Amber Currie Hamilton, husband Christopher, and grandsons, Jordan and Nathan, of Charleston. Also surviving are her sisters, Patricia Currie and Melinda Leitzel (Ben), and brother Jim Currie (Arleen). She was predeceased by her parents and a sister, Barbara Wells. Megan was born May 16, 1954, in Tucson, Arizona into an Air Force family and lived across the US before moving to Charlotte, NC in 1972. She was a graduate of the University of North Carolina at Charlotte and later attended massage therapy school in Florida. Megan was a massage therapist for 30 years with the last 20 years spent in Clemson, SC. Megan believed it was her gift to help people with her hands and healing touch. She was an exceptional therapist not only helping those with their physical problems, but also helping many more by listening and being their friend. Megan was an avid tennis fan – both playing and watching. She played in several local leagues and those that knew her well, knew not to disturb her during a major tournament! She was also a Master Gardener. She had an amazing green thumb and loved taking trips to the various botanical gardens and nurseries. What most people will remember about Megan was her infectious laugh. You could not help but join in when she started to laugh. She had a passion for life, family, and friends. She was a beautiful, joyful spirit and her light within radiated to everyone she knew and met. You were lucky if you knew her and luckier yet to call her your friend. We are blessed to have known and loved Megan. Her passing will leave an emptiness in our hearts forever.
