Roger J. Gee, 68, of Trapping Brook Road, died peacefully Saturday, June  20, 2020, at Jones Memorial Hospital with his family by his side  He was  born November 30, 1951 in Wellsville, the son of the late Douglas J. and Beatrice (Greenan) Gee. On September 11, 1971 in Wellsville he married Deb Bailey who survives.   He is also survived by his two children, Andy of Landis, N.C. and Ashley  (Fred) Elias of Wellsville; two grandchildren, Brayden, and Bailey,  two brothers, Douglas W. (Anita) Gee and Gerry (Gail) Gee, brothers-in-law,  Charles (Lisa) Bailey, Timothy (Jodi) Bailey, Kelvin Bailey, Brent  (Josie) Bailey, Barry (Cindy) Bailey; sisters-in-law, Laurie (Mike) Lang, Marian Gee and Ann Marie Gee; several nieces and nephews; his beloved Shih Tzu, Gabbie and his best friend, granddaughter, Bailey Elias.  He was predeceased in addition to his parents, by his father-in-law,  Charles Bailey, mother-in-law Margaret Bailey, and two brothers; James  and Robert Gee.  A lifelong resident of Wellsville, Roger owned and operated Gee’s Repair and Used Cars on the Andover Road for 42 years before retiring in 2018.  While he may not always have expressed it, Roger received great  satisfaction in being able to help his clients, especially his longtime customers.  Roger was Dale Earnhardt Sr.’s biggest fan, in recent years transitioning his fandom to Kyle Busch and Kyle Busch Motorsports.  Throughout his life, he attended several NASCAR races camping with friends and family at numerous tracks. In February, Roger fulfilled a bucket-list item when he attended the Daytona 500. His love for racing included being a crew member and sponsor for local dirt track racers and close friends Fran Slocum and Mike Wonderling during their racing careers. A classic car enthusiast that owned several different vehicles throughout his lifetime, Roger’s most prized possession was the 1970 Chevrolet Chevelle he and Deb enjoyed entering into car shows around the northeast. Their love for classic cars led them to becoming founding members of the Custom Express Car Club, which raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for local charities through non-profit shows held at Island Park in Wellsville from 1983 to 2003. A lifelong Buffalo Bills fan, his rowdy outings with close friends in his younger years gave way to attending games with his son and daughter from the comfort of the Goal Line Club the last few seasons. He was an avid member of the local coffee club squad which met weekday mornings at the Sunoco, breakfast club at the Texas Hot on Saturday mornings and attended Hot Rod Church on Sundays. Those wishing to make a donation in Roger’s memory can do so to the Wellsville Elks Lodge 1495, Scholarship Fund, where he was a longtime member and regular attendee of the Fantasy NASCAR League, scholarship breakfasts, and enjoyed belting out Neil Diamond’s “Sweet Caroline” alongside other members. There will be a public “drive by” at Gee’s Repair, 3376 Andover Road in Wellsville, on Friday, June 26, 2020, from 1:00 to 3:00 p.m. A private  graveside service will follow at Woodlawn Cemetery.

Katie was diagnosed in August of 2005 as a non smoker with lung cancer and died on July 4, 2007 .The diagnoses was made late in the fourth stage of development, after the cancer had already metastasized to her bones. Katie spent all her youth growing up in Wellsville with her loving family and many friends. She attended Martin Street Elementary School, Brooklyn Avenue Middle School and graduated in 1971 with many honors and awards from the Wellsville Central High School. Katie was a Regent Scholar and participated in many extra curricular activities such as cheerleading, orchestra, editor of the school paper, honor societies and various clubs. Katie was a hard worker and was always involved in the community in which she lived. Her work ethic and commitment to people and community were all developed while growing up in Wellsville, and she maintained these qualities throughout her life, while living in many places in the U.S. She attended the State University of New York in Oswego, where she majored in Psychology and English. She also received a degree for teaching secondary English. She did spend one semester abroad in Switzerland. After graduating from college, her first job was teaching secondary English in Hopkins, Minnesota. In 1979 while living in Akin, South Carolina, she taught high school English in Wagner. During that time she attended the University of South Carolina to pursue a degree in Masters of Social Work. In 1981, she was the co-founder of the first shelter for battered women in the Akin, S.C. area. Her last job prior to becoming a full time homemaker for the remainder of her life, was teaching inmates, at a minimum security prison in Akin, fundamental English skills to assist them when entering the job market. As part of making a home for her husband and two boys in Akin, (1979-1982); Kennett Square, PA (1982-1989); Houston, TX; Chadds Ford, PA, (1990-1992) and Atlanta, GA, (1992-present) she was always involved with the community as well as the boy’s schools and their extracurricular activities.

She really liked traveling as a family and taking the boys to places like Patagonia, Chile, Costa Rica, Spain and the Rockies to hike and to enjoy the outdoors. Katie was a leader in everything that she did, including her battle over the last two years with cancer. She never gave up her fight with cancer and Katie taught us how to enjoy life with family and friends even during her final terribly painful years. She is survived by her husband Gregory J. Hollod, PhD, of Atlanta, her sons Christopher of Charlotte and Andrew of Atlanta; her parents, Robert and Alice; two brothers, Robert and David and two sisters, Barbara and Amy and 14 nieces and nephews.
