Dennis Francis Magee, 69, of Attleboro, MA, passed away peacefully on Tuesday, May 28, 2019 at Heritage Hills Nursing Center in North Smithfield, RI. He was the beloved husband of Cheryl J. Ousley-Magee, to whom he was married on November 24, 2003.
Born on March 25, 1950 in Boston, MA, he was the son of the late Francis Magee and the late Elenna (Cover) Magee.
A resident of Attleboro since 2001, he previously lived in West Roxbury, MA. Dennis worked as a Security Analyst for Cigna Insurance for ten years.
A kind, caring, and private man, Dennis loved the simple things in life. He was actively involved in the theater; loved food, and enjoyed dining out and discovering new restaurants; ice cream and chocolate; and the quiet pleasure of watching television. He enjoyed trips to Vermont: to the Green Mountains, Rutland, and to the Mountain Top Inn. Dennis held a special place in his heart for his cat, "Abby" and his dog, "Amy". More than anything, he loved his family and spending time with them, especially with his cherished grandchildren.
In addition to his wife, Cheryl, he leaves his loving children: Jaysa R. Watson and her husband, Kris Watson, of Belleville, IL; W. Ian Brewer and his wife, Tammy Brewer, of Belleville, IL; and Shelby L. Tessier and her husband, Jaime L. Tessier, of Attleboro, MA. He was the proud and adoring grandfather of nine grandchildren, and the dear brother of Paul Magee of West Roxbury, MA.
All services for Dennis will be private.
