In Loving Memory of Kharis McGee

September 23, 2002 – July 25, 2025

With profound sadness and heavy hearts, we remember Kharis McGee, a cherished member of her family, her WSSU community, and all who knew her. Although her journey with us ended far too soon at the age of 22, her spirit continues to shine through the lives she touched.

A Life of Promise and Purpose 🌟

Kharis was a dedicated student at Winston‑Salem State University, enrolled in the B.S. program for the Class of 2026. She embodied promise—a young woman pursuing her dreams with vigor, curiosity, and an unyielding sense of integrity.

A Beloved Presence

Those who knew Kharis describe her warmth, kindness, and generosity. Always approachable, she listened deeply, offered support freely, and connected with authenticity. Her presence brought comfort and joy to many, weaving bonds of friendship and care across campus and beyond.

Commitment to Family

Kharis’s devotion to her family was unwavering. Born on September 23, 2002, in Monroe, North Carolina, she carried with her the values of love and respect won through deep familial bonds. Her passing leaves a void in their hearts that only her memory can begin to heal

Honoring Her Life

A Celebration of Life service will be held on Saturday, August 2, 2025, from 1:00–2:00 PM at the New Living Word Discipleship Worship Center in Waxhaw, NC (7513 Broomes Old Mill Rd)  Family, friends, and community members are invited to attend, share their memories, and offer comfort.

A Legacy That Lives On

Though her time here was brief, Kharis leaves behind a profound legacy:

• Dedication and Purpose: As a student deeply engaged in her journey at WSSU, she sought knowledge, connection, and growth.

• Kindness and Leadership: Her compassion and leadership touched classmates and faculty alike.

• Inspiration and Memory: Though gone, she remains a guiding light—her laughter, her kindness, her spirit forever present in the echoes of shared stories.

Kharis’s presence remains alive in every act of compassion, every moment of understanding, and all the lives she uplifted. Her example calls us to embrace life with authenticity, to support one another with love, and to pursue our own paths with courage.

In The Words of WSSU

According to Winston‑Salem State University’s official statement:

“Each of these students brought light, promise and purpose to our campus. Their presence touched many lives, and their absence will be deeply felt by classmates, faculty, staff and the entire WSSU Ramily.”
