A memorial service is set for Sunday for Dr. Rick Magly of Nebo, who died October 15 after what family members said was a short and courageous battle with cancer.
The memorial service will be held 4:00 pm to 6:00 pm Sunday at Big Otter Senior Center. Call 304-364-5020 for memorial information.
Magly operated the Total Health Chiropractic clinic at Nebo and graduated Magna Cum Laude from Life University College of Chiropractic in Atlanta, Georgia after completing the pre-med program at West Virginia State College.
Family members said he committed his life to the truth, balance and love of nature and God. His innermost desire was to be the best doctor he could possibly be for his patients.
Magly was born and raised in Toledo, Ohio but grew to love West Virginia in his early twenties before finally moving to Clay County in 1980. He worked as a building contractor and musician before coming to work with Dr. Mark Myers in Calhoun County in 2002.
