Hilda Joyce Magee, 87, passed away on Sunday, July 6th at Christwood Retirement 
Community in Covington after a courageous five-month battle with cancer.

Born in Hammond, Louisiana, on June 29, 1927, she was valedictorian of her 
Hammond High School graduating class before earning a degree from Southeastern 
Louisiana University and working part time in medical administration while 
being a full time mom. She and her family lived in Franklinton and Baton Rouge 
before moving to Mandeville in 2002.

Joyce never met a stranger, always striking up a conversation with everyone she 
met along the way. Even in her last days, she was sweet and funny with everyone 
around her; her sense of humor never waned. Joyce and her beautiful smile will 
be terribly missed by all who knew and loved her.

Active and involved until her illness, she was a proud founding member of the 
Pierre de Mandeville chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution and a 
regular at ChristwoodÕs Bible study classes. She was a member of the First 
Baptist Church of Covington.

She is survived by her devoted and loving husband of 64 years, Ellis C. Magee; 
daughter and son-in-law Janet Fabre Smith and Larry Smith; daughters Melanie 
Dixon and Marsha OÕBrien; and son and daughter-in-law Steven and Sherryl Magee. 
She was also a beloved grandmother to Alicia Magee and Victoria and Grace Dixon 
and preceded in death by her parents Dolly and Clinton Randall of Hammond, 
Louisiana.

A memorial service will be held at E.J. Fielding Funeral Home, 2260 West. 21st 
Avenue in Covington, LA on Saturday, July 12 at 11:00 a.m.; visitation will be 
from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. 

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made to Christwood Support Foundation (100 
Christwood Blvd, Covington, 70433) or Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center at St. 
Tammany Parish Hospital, Covington,
