Mrs. Virginia Brockinton Gee, 91, wife of the late Daniel Revell Gee Sr., passed away on July 13, 2023, in Greenville, SC.
Mrs. Gee was born on July 29, 1931, in Kingstree, SC, a daughter of Virginia Turnell and William Burroughs Brockinton. A former Miss Kingstree, she was a graduate of Kingstree High School and attended Columbia College. A music major while attending Columbia College, she returned to Kingstree to marry Dan Gee. She began her membership in the Kingstree United Methodist Church Choir at age 14 and continued her service until her increasing macular degeneration forced her to retire from the choir in her mid 80s. Along with her mother, she sang in numerous church cantatas, Christmas programs, weddings, and funerals across the state.
In addition, she enjoyed dancing, reading, playing in both day and night bridge and Tripoley clubs, cross stitching, vacationing at the beach, tutoring elementary children at various schools and volunteering at the church. She and Dan loved dancing in both their younger days at Pawley’s Island and later in Kingstree as members of the Moose Lodge. She once said that she liked nothing better than a cup of tea, a good book and a warm blanket. Spending time with family during the holidays and especially the annual family trips to Garden City were some of her favorite things to do. She and Dan were very involved in fundraising for Williamsburg Academy. An avid sports fan, she enjoyed watching golf and tennis on TV and never missed the Wimbledon Championship matches.
In addition to being a homemaker, she worked as a bookkeeper part time for the US Department of Agriculture during numerous tobacco seasons.
Also, the family would like to especially thank Ms. Betsy Gordon and the late Ms. Jean Edwins for their steadfast friendship, love and devotion for so many years as well as Ms. Virginia Ann McIntosh, a dear friend since childhood, that visited with Virginia just five days prior to her death.
Virginia was predeceased by her husband, Daniel Revell Gee Sr., her daughter, Lou Ann Gee of Kingstree, SC, and her sister Betty Lou Fowler of Bennettsville, SC. She is survived by her sons Daniel R. Gee Jr (Nancy) of Wake Forest, NC, William R. Gee (Beth) of Anderson, SC, Charles B. Gee (Linda) of Irmo, SC and Paul T. Gee (Lynn Marie) of Powdersville, SC, as well as her 9 grandchildren: Taylor (Michael), Kaylan, Daniel, Jordan, Kinley (Wesley), Ryan, Karmen, Sam and Tatum and 2 great grandchildren, 4 nephews and 2 nieces.
Funeral services will be held 2 PM, Sunday, July 16, 2023, at Kingstree United Methodist Church with visitation beginning at 1:15 until time for the service. Burial will follow the funeral service at Kingstree Memorial Gardens. In lieu of flowers, she requested that donations be made to Kingstree United Methodist Church, 510 N. Longstreet Street, Kingstree, SC 29556. Online condolences may be sent to the family on the obituary page at www.WilliamsburgFuneralHome.com

So sorry to hear this. The Last of the 3 musketeers : my mama (Lynn Connor), Mrs Jean Edwins and Mrs Virginia. Oh the times they had! I’m forever grateful for
what that friendship meant to my mama.
Virginia was a wonderful friend. In addition Virginia was an accomplished soloist and choir member at Kingstree United Methodist Church. It was my honor to have accompanied
Virginia for many solos and choral anthems for many years.
She was a dedicated vocalist whose beautiful voice was with
us until her health brought about her retirement. I am grateful
for the many years I was fortunate to serve with her as organist
and pianist. Upon Virginia’s retirement I missed her contribution
to our music program. A gracious lady and friend. Inga and I send our Deepest Sympathy to Virginia’s family.
My thoughts and prayers to the family for peace and comfort during this sad time.
I am so sorry for your loss. Ya’ll were blessed to have her for so long. Hugs and prayers ❤️
When Virginia left the KUMC Choir, we surely missed those high notes—and her!! She was a good friend, a good bridge player, and a good church member. Jim and I are happy we knew her and will remember her fondly! We send our condolences to all the Gee family.

One of the sweetest ladies to ever live. “Miss Virginia” was one of my mama’s very first and dearest friends in Kingstree. They loved each other so. We shared many good times with the Gees. Praying for comfort and peace for all. Love you all.
My sympathy and prayers to the family of Mrs. Virginia. She generously shared her many talents. She will be dearly missed.
“Miss Virginia” and I worked together at Farmers Telephone for a while. She was the sweetest friend, and could be so fun! She was always so thoughtful and always smiling! I miss her already! You have been blessed to have had her with you for so long! May God’s peace and comfort be yours during this grieving time.
A true southern lady! My deepest sympathy.
I am a distant cousin. I live in Manning. My mother and i went o many of the Church Cantatas. It was always a beautiful production. I got to meet her mother and Virginia. Such nice people. My condolences to the family.
I was SO sorry to learn of Miss Virginia’s passing and was so sorry that I was unable to attend her funeral due to my being out of state. Miss Virginia was a true southern lady, with the voice of an angel!! I loved to hear her sing especially in the quartets with Miss Eunice, Mr.Dalton, and daddy! They had some fun times in the choir!!Please know that each of you are in my thoughts and prayers! We were SO blessed to have her in our lives!
To, Dan, Bill, Charles and Paul,
Yes, Aunt Virginia was so very talented and caring. I remember she called letting me know about daddy and how mama really needed us. She had no way of knowing that plans were in the making to leave my guidance counseling job and my home in Surfside Beach, S.C. to come home. She was relieved. I will always remember her thoughtfulness and concern. You are in my prayers. Love, Ginny
