Pauline (Crepeau) McGee
November 6, 1939 — August 9, 2011
Pauline (Crepeau) McGee, an event planner and passionate leader of youth activities in Westwood for many years, passed away quietly and comfortably in The Villages, FL on August 9, 2011. She was 71.
Mrs. McGee was born on November 6, 1939, in Woonsocket, RI, to Josephat (Jerry) Crepeau and Marie Rose Angelique (Boisvert). She married Paul McGee on September 2, 1961. In Woonsocket, RI, she was an active member of the Precious Blood Church Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and was once selected as queen of the annual diocesan dance held at LaSalle Academy in Providence. She was general chairwoman of the spiritual committee for the Northern Rhode Island CYO and served as secretary for her parish unit.
Not long after she married, she became resident of Westwood, MA, where she lived for 35 years. She served as leader and coordinator of St. Denis Church’s CYO activities, including the organization’s annual ski trip. She was an avid participant in the Parent Teacher Organization for Westwood schools and later became founder and first president of the Westwood Music Parents Association.
Mrs. McGee retired from the Faxon Company in Westwood in 1997 after having enjoyed a long and successful career in marketing and event planning. Her work allowed her to travel extensively to conference meetings, and she was among the first in her profession to design convention booths featuring the latest technologies of the day.
Pauline was exceptionally well read with an avid interest in music, history and the cultures of the world. She was passionately concerned for the poor and disadvantaged in this country and abroad, and was a constant advocate for youths from every background.
She is survived by her husband of 50 years, Paul McGee, of The Villages, FL; her four sons and their wives: Timothy and Diane of Mansfield, MA; Martin and Karen of Ashland, MA; Steven and Michelle of Framingham, MA; and Neil and Susan of Englewood, NJ; and her four grandchildren: Rachel, Tyler, Bradford, and Madeleine.
