Megan Halvorson was born on February 5, 1992 in Grand Forks, ND, the daughter of Jeff and Audrey (Nicholls) Halvorson. She was baptized at birth in the hospital and confirmed this past spring at Abundant Life Church. Megan attended Knox Elementary, Challenger Elementary, Franklin Middle School and Lincoln High School.

Megan was very social and loved people and animals, especially dogs and horses. She enjoyed music and watching movies with her best friend, her brother, Josh. She liked to listen to audio books, swimming, and baking with her mom. Megan had a great sense of humor, she loved laughing at her dad, when putting on her jacket. Megan thought it was hilarious when she went to a new school, and the teachers and aides were unsure of doing her cares correctly. Megan has brightened so many lives with her captivating smile, her happy go lucky attitude and her love for everyone. Megan loved the time she spent with her grandparents, who were always there for her, fishing at her dads and dressing up and wearing makeup.
