More about Aurea McGarry
Aurea McGarry was born and raised in New York City. Her father was a multimillionaire businessman and her mother was a beautiful model.
Aurea enjoyed an upscale lifestyle in Manhattan until her father was brutally murdered, gangster-style when she was only fifteen years old. Forced to give up an elite private school and her dream of becoming an Olympic figure skater, she entered the work force.
Aurea attended college and studied at the New York Academy Of Theatrical Arts, Herbert Bergdorf Acting Studio, Phil Black and Luigi’s Dance Studio’s to pursue her aspirations of being a success in the entertainment world one day.
She has worked on the soap opera The Edge of Night and appeared in many infomercials, movies, plays and Mystery Dinner Theatre shows. She’s also had great success with a leading cosmetic company. And she was a professional White Face Clown for over twenty years.
Her first marriage to a pastor’s son was physically, finacially and verbally abusive. Aurea didn’t want her daughter to continue to grow up in an abusive environment and found the courage to leave. With the support of her mom, stepfather and the wonderful women associated with her in the cosmetic company.
Aurea faced many other struggles in her life. She lost her mother to cancer, later her brother was also treated for Hodgkin’s Cancer and a short time later Aurea was diagnosed with cancer herself, Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma. After surgery and grueling chemotherapy which almost killed her, the surgeon told her she’d never be able to speak above a faint whisper because they had to remove a major nerve to her vocal chord. Besides the vocal chord the surgeon removed half of her left lung, part of her right lung, the lining around her heart, her thymus and disconnected half of her diaphragm.
She has been cancer-free now since 2000 and can talk just fine despite the grim diagnosis.
Aurea went on to become Mrs. U.S. Beauty Of Georgia 2003. Also winning the title of Most Inspirational Contestant.
She now travels the country speaking her message of hope, faith and having a great sense of humor. Your organization can request her by emailing your request to liveyourlegacy@gmail.com.
