Maggie Gee

Lab retiree Maggie Gee, a longtime employee of A Division, died Feb. 1. She was 89.

Born Aug. 5, 1923 in Berkeley, Calif., Gee had many fascinating chapters in her life. She was a political activist, WASP (Women Air Service Pilots), mathematician, computer scientist and physicist. She was a recipient of the Congressional Gold Medal.

Gee enjoyed living in Berkeley, the place where she grew up, attended public schools and UC Berkeley. She was active in numerous community and political organizations, including the Berkeley Democratic Club and the Berkeley Community Fund.

In lieu of flowers, donations may be made in Gee's name to Planned Parenthood of Alameda County.
