Megan Benware

BERKSHIRE - It is with profound sadness that we announce the passing of Megan Ann Benware, a vibrant spirit who lived life to the fullest. Megan passed away on Thursday, January 30, 2025.

Born in St. Albans, Vermont, on August 19, 1987, Megan grew up in Enosburg Falls, where her love for art and adventure blossomed. She was a talented artist, known for her stunning murals that adorned walls and doors-transforming ordinary spaces into expressions of beauty and creativity.

Megan was not only an artist but also a passionate cosmetologist, bringing her unique flair to her clients as she enhanced their beauty. As an excellent cook, she loved to share her culinary creations, bringing joy to family and friends around the dinner table.
