Frances Madge Magee
10/28/1941-8/26/2021 79 yr., Rudolph, WI.
Frances was born Oct. 28, 1941, to Frank and Florence (Tordoff) Kelly at Waukegan Memorial Hospital, Waukegan, Illinois. France moved to Wisconsin Rapids area in 1970 and has resided in Rudolph WI. For many years raising her family. She loved her 5 children with all her heart. Frances married Robert T. Magee in 1976 and was blessed to extend her family with 4 more wonderful children making a family of; 2 parents, and 9 children, earning the title of "The Brady Bunch", but larger.
Frances enjoyed reading and will forever be remembered for going NOWHERES without her book bag and Kleenex! Her husband Bob was always patiently waiting to carry it for her after she stuffed it full.
Throughout Frances life there were many mountains and valleys to journey through. The strength she showed to her children to keep going, loving, and forgiving will never be forgotten. She held fast to Jesus and in the end was at peace knowing she was going "home" to be in Christ's Kingdom. The kingdom of perfectly pure love and acceptance, something we all search for in our lives.
Though the day has come for her to leave this earthly home, her children, family, and friends will never forget her love, laughter, and faith.
Frances' surviving children, Pat (Lisa) LaBarge, Lori (Tim) Johnson-Hintz, Debra LaBarge, Michelle (Mike) Lewis, Bill (Val) Magee, Debbie Tibbets, and Tim (Susan) Magee will forever know how much she loved them and held fast to every visit and memory. Her surviving brothers Mike (Jerry) Kelly and Fred Rogerson will always hold fond childhood memories of Frances dearly in their hearts.
Frances led an incredible journey together with her husband Bob, when Bob passed away in 2012 her heart longed for him every day. We know today they are reunited together once again; along with her parents, in laws (Vi & Jack Ironside-Robert & Hattie Magee), son in laws (Dave Tibbets & Randy Johnson) and daughter in laws (Jackie Magee), brothers (Harry Rogerson & Patrick Kelly). And with great joy her two sons Andy P. LaBarge and Bobby Magee, along with many other extended family and friends. What a glorious day it is, to be "home" with Jesus.
"Though the world went silent for a moment when you left mom, the rejoicing in heaven broke through that silence! Giving to us comfort knowing today you smile, today you are complete, today you are "HOME",
