Sid McGee

Obituary

Sidney W. McGee, born and raised in upstate NY, died peacefully on March 14th, surrounded by his loving family after living life to its fullest over his 89 years. A devout Catholic, his life will be celebrated at Lumen Christi Catholic Church in Saint Paul.

After marrying his wife, Theresa DelMonico (Terri McGee), they had 2 sons in Schenectady NY and headed northwest from there to the long winters of Minnesota. Two more sons rounded out the family, where together Sid and Terri raised their sweet, loving, and always obedient boys in North Mankato.

Sid began his working career with Syracuse China, driving and flying to and fro to peddle fine china, gifts, and various other decorative pieces to the places that sold them. Having come across a furniture store with a fine gifts shop in Mankato, Sid joined Landkamer’s Furniture as a salesman and interior decorator. After many years, he and Terri opened a petite women’s clothing store at the local mall. He worked tirelessly with youth at Holy Rosary Catholic Church and with the Teens Encounter Christ (TEC) program in the New Ulm diocese.

The couple moved to Saint Paul in 2017 to be closer to family. The love of his life preceded him in death in 2019. He was fiercely proud of his four sons–Jon (Cold Spring, MN), Tim (Chanhassen, MN), Greg (St. Paul, MN), and Brian (Phoenix, AZ) and his daughters in law, Ann, Ann, Ann (not kidding) and Andrea. He cherished spending time with his grandchildren–Kaitlin, Andrew, Grace, Nick, Louie, Ben, Mae, Donovan, Jude, Carmella, and Kate. Late in life he bragged effusively about his Great Granddaughter, Willow.

Family–or famiglia as he was known to exclaim–was his most important treasure. He will be missed but with the confidence of his faith, hope, and love, will be fondly remembered.
