Lloyd McGee Obituary

October 18, 1926 ~ January 7, 2017
Brigham City, UT-Lloyd Ross McGee, 90, passed away with his family by his side on January 7, 2017.
He was born on October 18, 1926 in St George, Utah to Ross Solon McGee and Elsie Gifford McGee.
Lloyd served in the Army from 1945 to 1948 and was stationed in Germany. He attended the University of Utah where he received a PHD in Chemistry and worked at Thiokol.
He married Marna Maynes on January 17, 1952 in the Salt Lake LDS Temple. They shared almost 65 years together. Lloyd and Marna moved their young family to Wilmington, Delaware for three years, then returned to Utah in 1959.
Lloyd was an active member of the LDS church, and faithfully served in many callings. He served a temple mission at the St. Louis temple, a Senior Couple mission to Boston, Massachusetts, he served in the Bishopric, High Council, and served for 20 years as an ordinance worker in the Ogden Temple and also in the Brigham City Temple.
His interests were his family. He was active in scouting and as a Young Men Leader for his four sons. The children are widely scattered and he and Marna traveled often to visit the grandkids on their special occasions including a baby blessing at a Coast Guard Light House in Washington State and baptisms in Delaware, Florida, North Dakota, California and Alaska.
Lloyd enjoyed serving with the Brigham City Soup Kitchen in cooperation with the wider Brigham City community. He also substituted as a Meals on Wheels driver. He invested in his kids by getting them paper routes which he then helped deliver. He was a scientist who had a deep innate faith in God and he lived his life consistent with his faith.
Surviving are his sweetheart, Marna; his children, Larry (Michele) McGee, Pacifica, CA; James (Carla) McGee, Neola, UT; Linda (Dave) Anderton, Palmer, AK; John (Julie) McGee, Riverside, CA; Robert (Rachel) McGee, West Jordan, UT; Patti (Frank) Kasten, Phoenix, AZ; Heidi (Monty) Pickrell, Ogden, UT. Thirty grandchildren and 16 great-grandchildren. Sisters Irene Despain; Colleen (Fred) Maynes; and Myrna (Kale) Smith.
Preceded in death by his parents, brother LaRaine, and sister Leola, daughter Karen, and two grandsons Clarence and Derek.

So much was left unsaid. To those reading this, please add a memory. From my Dad and Mom I learned to love the Lord. Dad was my example and when faced with major decisions, the question 'what would Dad do?' was always a good place to start. I was blessed to be there when he passed from this life. I have his example of being well-prepared to move on. He had full confidence that life is eternal and approached that transition with joy and some excitement, moderated by his love for those he leaves behind. He fully accepted the Grace of Jesus Christ in his life. His service in the Church and community came from his love and gratitude to God and his Savior Jesus Christ. Thanks Dad for these last examples that I'll use when I consider 'What would Dad do?'
