Juanita Magee Obituary
SHREVEPORT, LA - A Memorial Service celebrating the life of Juanita "Nita" Magee, 95, will be held at 2:00 p.m., Saturday, May 21, 2016 at St James Episcopal Church, 2050 W. Bert Kouns Industrial Loop, Shreveport, LA. Father Bill Bryant will be officiating. A reception will immediately follow in the parish hall.
Nita was born on January 8, 1921 in Natchitoches, LA to Royce "Red" and Adelina Jordan and passed away on May 19, 2016. She was a member of St. James Episcopal Church for 58 years. Nita was a member of Daughters Of The King, a Eucharistic Visitor and Lay Eucharistic Minister, Adult and Children's Christian Education Teacher and member of the Altar Guild. Her greatest source of joy was her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
Nita was preceded in death by her parents, her husband A.L. "Mac" Magee, and infant daughter Laura Ann. She is survived by her sons, Kenneth Dale Magee and wife, Hattie and David Vienne Magee and wife, Jan; daughter, Karen Louise Tiemann and husband, Gary; grandchildren, Lisa Lawless, Jason Magee, John Magee, Laura Rowe, Sarah Magee, David Thomas Magee, Catherine Anne Glunt, Jennifer Lynn Fleitman, Jordan Tiemann, and Megan Tiemann along with 23 great-grandchildren. Nita also leaves behind her best friend for over 40 years, Teresa Thrash and the rest of her beloved family at St. James Episcopal Church.
The family would like to say a special thanks to the caring staff at Brookdale Assisted Living, The Oaks and Willis-Knighton Pierremont Hospital.
In lieu of flowers the family suggests memorial contributions may be made to St. James Episcopal Church Kitchen Renovation, to assist in their efforts of feeding the hungry.

Nita Magee was one of a kind. I knew her through St. James Church growing up and through my mother Doris Y Richardson (also a member of St. James Church). She was one of my mother's dearest friend. Broke my heart when I had to call and tell her about my mom's passing. Nita you will be dearly missed but never forgotten. Your love of our God and Faith was never waiving and a joyful giver reaps what he sows, you are now with God. You were such a kind, honest, sincere person with a heart full of love and You served the Lord our God everyday of your life. What a great example you were to us all.
For the Family: May God be your refuge and strength during this grieving time for I know We shall walk together again. Love you with all my heart my Sweet Lady.

She was one of those rare people that made you feel better just to be with her. What a loving, kind and remarkable lady. She will be missed but she will never be forgotten.

Nita was such a remarkable woman. She was a voracious reader and very philosophical about life. I hope she is in heaven having a cup of tea with my parents! I feel blessed to have known her.

I knew Nita at St. James and as a member of St. Monnica Chapter of DOK. She was such a calming, prayerful, and practical presence. She was very special to me and someone I missed very much when I moved away from Shreveport. Condolences to her family and her St. James family.
