May 16, 1953 - September 8, 2024
It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of Kamla Hari McGonigal.
Kam was a devoted wife to her husband of 40 years, Carmen; and a superior mother to her two sons; Ryan (Karen), and Jager. Kamla was also an incredible grandmother to her granddaughters Macie (8), and Kit (6) and her step-grandchildren Mollie (15), and Owen (13).
Kam lived a vibrant life leading by example. She spent her career in health care working in several of Calgary’s hospitals and health centres. She concluded her healthcare career as the Manager at the South Calgary Urgent Care, for which she was very proud.
She was known for her quick thinking, leadership, passion and innovation.
Kam was born at the Calgary General Hospital on May 16, 1953. She was the second of six children and together with their parents Harnet and Sukhdev (Gik) Hari, would be raised on a farm in the High River area. Kam is survived by her mother (Sukhdev) and older brother, Sarbi (Vera), younger siblings, Jesse (Sarah), Harji (Marilyn), Rob (Stephanie) and Mona (Larry) along with numerous nieces and nephews.
She is predeceased by her father Harnet in 2014.
Kam coined the phrase, ‘Unbridled Spirit’ and she lived by example – fearless, bold, healthy, independent and with great positivity. She will be missed but her spirit will leave us each with a benchmark to aspire to.
A celebration of life will be held from 12:00 PM to 3:00 PM on September 20, 2024 at Bow Valley Ranche, 15979 Bow Bottom Trail S.E., Calgary, Alberta.
