Joseph Lee McGee

Joseph Lee McGee (Joe), 86, of Woodstock, GA, passed away on November 4, 2026, surrounded by his family. He was a man who measured his life not in accomplishments, but in relationships; his wife who was by his side for over 64 years, his daughters who always knew they could count on him, his grandchildren and great grandchild who were his pride and joy, and his extended family and friends who he loved spending time with over his life.

Born in Pounding Mill, VA on March 20, 1940, Joe served in the U.S. Army Infantry, graduated from Virginia Tech, and spent his working years as an accountant. But those who knew him best remember him most for his love of hunting and fishing and his wonderful sense of humor.

He is survived by his loving wife Becky, his children Monica Franke and Melissa Benak, his son in law Rick Franke, his grandchildren Joey Hnath (Allyson Hnath), Jacob Franke, Elena Franke, Brandon Benak, and Bailey Benak, great grandson Noah, sister Susie Robinson and many nieces and nephews.

A committal service will be held on Monday, November 30, 2026, at 9:30am at the Georgia National Cemetery in Canton, GA. The family will be welcoming visitors at Rick and Monica’s home at noon following the service. They ask that donations be made to http://Parkinsons.org in his memory.
