Virginian-Pilot  February 27, 1953
Mrs. Mary Magee Hughes, 83, of Virginia Beach, vocalist and organist, who, for 
more than a half century, was soloist at St. Mary’s Catholic Church, died 
yesterday at 9:45 a.m. in a Norfolk hospital. She had been in failing health for 
three years.
Born in Norfolk, December 12, 1869, she was a daughter of Michael and Mrs. Bridget
Mary Hoban Magee. She was a graduate of St. Joseph's Convent at Emmittsburg and, 
before her marriage to James Hughes, studied voice in New York. Her husband died 
many years ago. She succeeded E. J. Doran as choir director and organist at St. 
Mary’s Church. It was recalled that many visitors came to the church from out of 
town to hear her sing. She attended the Golden Jubilee of St. Joseph’s Convent in 
1938.
Surviving is one brother, Dr. D'Arcy Magee, of Blandensburg.
Rosary services will be conducted today at 7:30 p.m. at the H. D. Oliver Funeral 
Apartments. The body will be taken from the funeral apartments to St. Mary’s 
Catholic Church for funeral services tomorrow at 10 a.m. Burial will be in St. 
Mary’s Cemetery.
