Miss World British Virgin Islands 1994 Khara Michelle Forbes Has Passed

The pageant world is mourning over the loss of Miss British Virgin Islands 1994 Khara Michelle Forbes who passed away over the weekend.

Khara, a beloved figure in the territory, made her mark in the world of pageantry when she won the prestigious Miss World British Virgin Islands title in 1994 at the tender age of 18.

Khara triumphed over four other talented contestants to capture the crown with her radiant beauty, intelligence and charisma.

Born and raised in the territory, Khara pursued her high school education at Lyman High School in Altamont Springs, Florida.

Upon completing her studies, she returned to her cherished homeland, where she began working as a secretary at Sucre and Sucre Trust Ltd.

It was during this time that Khara set her sights on attending university, with a passionate determination to pursue a major in early childhood education, fuelled by her dream of one day establishing her own daycare centre.

Khara had the honour of competing in the internationally renowned Miss World Pageant which was held in Sun City, South Africa.

Her grace and elegance shone through as she showcased the beauty and rich cultural heritage of the BVI on the global stage.

“She was beautiful, graceful, intelligent and phenomenal lady and Queen. She represented the BVI with pride, grace and poise,” shared Terry Donovan, who was the Miss BVI World Pageant Director in 1994, in a social media post.

Khara’s untimely passing has left a void in the hearts of the BVI community.

She will always be remembered for her infectious smile, kind-hearted nature, and her unwavering dedication to her community.

Her legacy as a role model for young women and a proud ambassador of the territory will continue to inspire generations to come.
