Elizabeth I. McGee, age 74, of Toledo, peacefully passed away Saturday morning, January 23, 2016 at Hospice of Northwest Ohio in Perrysburg. Elizabeth was born in Rucal, Nebraska on October 23, 1941 to the late Sam Candella and Dorothy (Bishop) Candella. She was a graduate of Delta High School.
Elizabeth retired from Jeep Corp. after 30 years of service. During her time at Jeep she worked as a security guard and later as a forklift operator. She was a proud member of UAW and enjoyed knitting, sewing, crocheting and cooking. Another hobby was site seeing, as she would often venture on road trips in her car taking in nature’s beauty along the way.
Left to cherish her memories are her children, Antoinette Martin, Steven Skates, David (Therese) Skates, Marsha (Michael) Carrick and Michelle (Robert Spann) Mitchell; ten grandchildren; six great grandchildren; special friend, John Lichtey and her trusted canine companion, “Gus”.
