Brigitte McKee

It is with great sadness that the family of Brigitte Lynn Wallace McKee, devoted mother, loving daughter, wonderful sister and friend, passed away on April 26, 2020 in Annapolis, MD at the age of 43 years after a valiant struggle with breast cancer. Brigitte was a special person to all who knew her. She was as beautiful on the inside as she was on the outside, always kind, thoughtful, and giving to others. Brigitte displayed honor, truthfulness, strength, and integrity in all she attempted and accomplished throughout her life. Brigitte was born in Orange, CA and during her early childhood lived with her family in Newport Beach, CA; Bronxville, NY; Darien CT; and Vienna, AU.

Upon leaving the Navy she worked at Booze Allen & Hamilton and finally returned to work at the US Naval Academy. From the time she was a young child Brigitte loved sports. She was a great athlete and enjoyed competitive swimming, soccer, softball and tennis. Eventually her passion centered on tennis where she excelled throughout high school, college, the Navy, and ultimately, much USTA and social tennis with family and friends. Brigitte loved to travel and from the time she was a child until the past few months she took advantage of visitng places and friends throughout the world. A recent memorable trip was to Iceland and Norway with her parents and to Hawaii with her children.
