Beverly Gee's Obituary
Beverly (Jackson) Gee passed away at Lighthouse of Superior on October 23, 2013 at age 92.
She was born in Loyal, Wisconsin on September 19, 1922 to her parents, Herman and Mabel Jackson. Her childhood years were spent in Sparta, Wisconsin. She flourished in Sparta enjoying the companionship of her sister, Betty, working at her father's drug store, pursuing her passion of music and falling in love with her future husband, Robert H. Gee. She attended Lawrence College in Appleton, Wisconsin and graduated from the National College of Education in Evanston, Illinois with a major in elementary education. She had a long career as a kindergarten teacher in Grosse Point, Mich., Madison, Wis. and Duluth, Minn.
She married Robert H. Gee in Sparta on August 17, 1945 and moved with him to Superior, Wis. in 1949 when he began his practice of law. She had two children, Robert C. Gee (Grace M. Gee) of St. Anthony, Minn. and Peter J. Gee (Maureen Gee) of Superior, Wis.; three grandchildren, Sonya Calgren, Robert D. Gee, and June B. Gee; two great-grandchildren, Clara and Henry Calgren; her sister, Elizabeth "Betty" Richardson; and various nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; husband, Robert "Homer" on May 1, 2008; and her brother-in-law, William Richardson.
She was a woman of great love and warmth for people, often fondly recalling her kindergarten students. She was a long-standing member of Faith United Methodist Church in Superior and BG Chapter of the PEO sisterhood. She had many interests: music, theater, foreign travel, flowers, and as a stitchery artist member of the Needle Art Guild. She treasured her friends and her Christian faith. In her last years she frequently spoke of her "Wonderful Life".
A Memorial Service will occur at Faith United Methodist Church, 1531 Hughitt Ave., Superior, Wis. on Mon., November 3rd at 11:00 a.m. with visitation beginning one hour before the service.
