Larry Glenn McGee

Larry Glenn McGee

Larry Glenn McGee, 83, went home to be with his Heavenly Father on March 2, 2026. He was born on June 6, 1942, in Gordo, Ala., to John Wesley McGee and Marie McGee Boyd.
After losing his father at a young age, Larry was lovingly guided by his stepfather, Woodrow Boyd. He was the youngest of five children growing up in Echola, Ala. Larry graduated from Gordo High School at just 16 years old, already showing the determination and strong work ethic that would carry him through life. He excelled in both baseball and football and went on to attend the University of Alabama, earning a degree in business and beginning a lifelong love for Alabama athletics. After college, Larry served proudly as a second lieutenant in the United States Army National Guard from 1964 to 1974. He later settled in Winfield, where he began his nearly 30 year career with Alabama Power Company. He took great pride in his work and was known for his dedication and integrity. Not long after he moved to Winfield, he met the love of his life, Vicky Moss McGee. Together, they built a life centered on faith, family and lasting friendships.
Larry was a devoted husband, a proud father and an especially proud grandfather.
Larry was known for being able to build or fix just about anything — and if something was broken, he would find a way to fix it (sometimes in his own way!). He believed in hard work and led by example.
In retirement, Larry and Vicky enjoyed traveling with dear friends, attending Alabama sporting events and spending as much time as possible with their growing family. Some of his happiest moments were spent with his grandchildren — working in the garden, sitting in a deer stand or fishing on a quiet riverbank — passing down his love for the outdoors and simply enjoying being together.
Eight years ago, Larry suffered a stroke that brought many challenges, but he faced each day with strength, patience and a positive spirit. The family is especially grateful to the physicians, nurses and caregivers — especially Brandi Watkins, Ashley Smith and John Evans — whose kindness and friendship meant so much over the years.
Larry loved deeply, worked hard and lived his faith every day. His steady presence and generous heart will be missed more than words can say. Still, there is comfort in knowing he is healed and at peace at home with his Heavenly Father.
He is survived by his wife, Vicky; his son, Larry Scott McGee (Keely); his daughter, Melanie McGee Williamson (Clark); and his five beloved grandchildren, Moss McGee, John Clark Williamson IV, Laura McGee, Whit Williamson and Noland Williamson. He is also survived by his sisters, JoAnn McGee Burkhalter and Shelby McGee Moss.
He was preceded in death by his parents; his brother, John Wiley McGee; and his sister, Eleanor McGee Ellison.
A Celebration of Life service was held on March 5, 2026 at the Winfield First Methodist Church.
In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made to Winfield First Methodist Church or Wyatt’s Rides.
