Patsy Beall Mcgee

Patsy McGee, affectionately known as “Granny Pat”, 88, joined her Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, in heaven on Friday, April 26, 2019.

Born on April 10, 1931, in Neshoba County, Mississippi, Patsy was the daughter of the late Reverend Ethel A. Beall and Iva Gamblin Beall. Patsy was seven years old when her mother passed away.

She grew to know her Lord at a young age and enjoyed singing at church. She graduated as the Salutatorian of Arlington High School. Patsy worked as a dental assistant and at a photography studio where she tinted photographs. She married her first husband, Doyle Stokes of Philadelphia, Mississippi, and started a family. They lived in Mississippi, and Alabama, prior to moving to Warner Robins, Georgia, in 1967. Patsy worked part-time at Evelyn’s doing alterations but mainly was a stay at home mother providing a wonderful home to her three children until they were grown. It was then that Patsy went to work at Robins Air Force Base as an aircraft records technician until her retirement.

Patsy had many hobbies. She enjoyed cross-stitching, crocheting, and sewing. In fact, Patsy made all of her children’s clothes and even her daughters’ wedding dress. She also made baby blankets for her grandchildren. Patsy also enjoyed singing in her church choir and was an accomplished pianist who could play by ear. Patsy was a master baker who was famous among her friends and family for her cakes. She and her friends loved listening to the Gaither Vocal Band. Patsy was a long time member of Central Baptist Church where she enjoyed serving with the single’s ministry and attending Pete Joyner’s Sunday School Class.

In addition to her parents, Patsy was preceded in death by her husband, Glenn H. McGee; siblings, John William Beall, Robbie Beall Petty, and Curtis Benton Beall; as well as Patsy’s son-in-law, Mike Chickini.
