Roy A. McGee of Elmore City, Oklahoma was born to Jacob Berl and Edna Lucille (Roberts) McGee on August 30, 1946, in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma and passed from this life on July 26, 2024 in Norman, Oklahoma at the age of 77 years.
Roy grew up on the family farm in Pauls Valley, Oklahoma and graduated high school in 1964. Roy developed his love for the land, while growing up and spending many hours farming with his dad and brother, Randy. Roy married Linda Kennedy on August 18, 1967, in Elmore City, Oklahoma. He went on to attend college at Central State University obtaining a BS in Special Education. His first teaching job was a work study program for Choctaw/Nicoma Park Public Schools. In 1977, Roy and Linda moved to Jet-Nash, Oklahoma where he was elementary principal for one year then worked as a farm manager for Franklin Forney, MD of Enid, Oklahoma. In 1980, Roy and Linda with their kids moved home to Elmore City. He worked at Farm and Ranch at Pauls Valley until he was hired by Sohio Petroleum as a plant operator. He retired in 2012. He continued working daily on their farm north of Elmore City. His greatest joys was his family, the land, and riding around on his ranger. He got so much pleasure from his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He especially treasured the time he got to spend with Kyle, showing him how to care for the farm as well as their long running feud with the beavers!
