An extraordinaire is someone exceptional—an individual who stands out, leads with light, and inspires others through character, creativity, or compassion. I use this term to honor people across generations who embody traits many of us admire. They are way-showers, role models, and examples of what is possible when heart and vision unite.
Chances are, you know one. Perhaps, you are one.
Dr. McGarey lived to be 103, and she was one of the most forward-thinking, appreciative, and encouraging people I’ve ever met. Her gratitude was unwavering. Every act of service, every contribution—she saw it as a gift. Even in disagreement, she remained kind and never critical. Her spirit is one that shaped lives. She was, and remains, a true extraordinaire.
