June “Sunni” Magee

June 21, 1927 – April 13, 2025

 

June Magee, affectionately known as “Sunni,” passed away peacefully in her sleep on April 13, 2025, at the age of 97. She was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother, and friend, whose care of others touched the lives of all who knew her. 

Born on June 21, 1927, Sunni lived a life marked by deep love, quiet strength, and enduring faith. She was the beloved wife of Leonidas “Jack” Magee, whom she joined in eternal rest five years after his passing in January of 2020. Together, they shared 68 years of marriage, raising a large and loving family and building a legacy rooted in steadfast devotion.

 

Sunni is survived by her six children: Chat Magee (Linda), Missy Magee Hendrickson (Bjarne), Lise Magee Belle (Buddy), John Magee (Beverly), Ben Magee (Correine), and Angela Magee Bailey (Steve). She is also survived by 23 grandchildren (Lonnie Magee, Sara Garcia, June Magee, Christopher Magee, Katy Kessler, Becky Kessler, Joe Kessler, Olivia Bailey, Jeremy Belle, Nolan Belle, Angela Raimer, Christopher Schirmer, Abigail Magee Sklenar, Hayley Magee, Madison Magee, Jack Magee, and Jon Bailey), and more than 20 great grandchildren.

 

She was preceded in death by her husband Jack, their beloved son, Lonnie V. Magee and their beloved daughter Renee Magee Tucker (James). 

 

Sunni’s faith was a cornerstone of her life. A longtime member of St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Nassau Bay, she supported her church community for over four decades. She found joy in her family’s company, drawing strength from her role as mother and matriarch.

 

A celebration of Sunni’s life will be held at St. Paul’s Catholic Church in Nassau Bay, Texas. Details of the service will be shared with family and friends. In lieu of flowers, and in honor of her family, the family asks that donations be made to the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation.

 

Sunni will be remembered as a woman who cared deeply for her husband, her family and her faith.
