MAGEE, Mary Elizabeth "Liz" Passed away peacefully, on February 4, 2026, at the age of 92. The third of six Murray children, Liz grew up in Framingham, Massachusetts, enjoying the outdoors and the activities that accompanied farming and horse country.

She was a proud graduate of Salve Regina College in 1954 and majored in Nutrition. Following graduation she studied voice (opera) in Florence, Italy. This is where she met her first husband of 18 years, Jerry O'Donoghue, with whom she had five children.

During that time, she educated homemakers, restaurants, food services, schools, hospitals, nursing homes, and more, on food safety (gaining certification) across the state. Her biggest accomplishment, was the creation of the annual Fisherman's Harvest Festival in Plymouth, fondly known as "Fish Bash." The event promoted the fish industry and educated the public on he importance of underutilized species of fish. Her success was recognized with the "Past President's Award" from the National Association of Extension Home Economists.

She married William "Bill" Magee in 2001, settling in South Dartmouth, where they spent many happy years together travelling, hosting wonderful parties, enjoying family, and taking to the waters on the "Blue Diamond."
