\\" Minot, N.D. – Donna Marie McGee, 86, longtime resident of Minot where her husband Richard practiced law for 45 years prior to his death in 1992, died March 3, 2006, at a hospital in Grand Forks, N.D.
  She was born July 2, 1919, in Grand Forks, a daughter of Lee T. and Margaret (Kelleher) Norman. Raised in Grand Forks, she graduated from  Grand Forks Central High School and attended the University of North Dakota at Grand Forks. She was employed at the Grand Forks Theater and also worked for her father, who owned and operated Norman Funeral Home and Furniture Store in Grand Forks. She later was employed by the Social Security Administration in Baltimore, Md.
 After Mr. McGee was discharged from military service in 1946, he returned to North Dakota and Grand Forks. They were married there on June 8, 1946, at St. Mary’s Catholic Church. When he completed law school at UND in 1947, they moved to Minot.
 She was involved in a number of organizations and activities throughout her years in Minot. She was a member of St. Leo’s Catholic Parish, St. John the Apostle Parish and, in later years, once again at St. Leo’s. When her sons were students at St. Leo’s School, she was active in the Parent Teacher Association. She served on the advisory board of Mary University in Bismarck. She was a member and president of the Minot Women’s Symphony League. She was president of the YWCA when that group built its building in downtown Minot. She was a member of the Minot Country Club and served a term as president of the women’s division at the club.
 She enjoyed Lake Metigoshe where she and her family spent the summers. In later years, she and her husband wintered in Rancho Mirage, Calif., where they were members of the Thunderbird Country Club.
 Donna saw herself as her husband’s partner in countless ways, among them, as a hostess and fellow traveler. She was a noted cook, played bridge, and often entertained guests in the McGee home. In the early years of their marriage, the McGees lived in the old family residence on South Hill, her husband’s father, George McGee, making his home with them. She and her husband traveled widely, both in the USA and abroad, many of their travels tied to his involvement in the American Bar Association.
  As much as anything, Donna McGee loved her two grandsons, summer days and the passing scene at Lake Metigoshe. She drew much joy and pride in her two sons, one a Catholic priest, the other a lawyer, marking the third generation of McGees to practice law in Minot.
  She is survived by her sons, Rev. Timothy McGee, Thief River Falls, MN, and Richard McGee II and his wife Susan, Minot; two grandchildren, Mitchell and Matthew McGee; sisters, Margaret Ann Andrews, Sacramento, Calif., and Mary Catherine Fox, whose death followed Donna’s by 24 hours; a sister-in-law, Mary Jane Norman Mattson, Grand Forks; a brother-in-law, George A. (Rae) McGee Jr., New Braunfels, Texas. In addition to her husband and parents, she was preceded in death by three brothers, Lee Norman Jr., John E. and Robert M. Norman.
  Funeral services will be held Wednesday, March 8 (today), at 11 a.m. in St. Leo’s Catholic Church, Minot, N.D. Interment will be held at Rosehill Memorial Park, Minot.
 Memorials are preferred to the Richard McGee Scholarship Fund at the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks, or to St. Leo’s Church in Minot.
