     William Patrick McGhee Patrick McGhee, February 5, 1946 - September 6, 2017. William Patrick McGhee was born February 5, 1946, in Roanoke, Virginia, son of the late William Cleveland and Marjorie Hazel Akers McGhee. Pat was a member of the Mullens High School class of 1964. He attended Marshall University, and received his bachelor's degree from the West Virginia Board of Regents. He taught in the Wyoming County school system, first as a traveling music teacher, then as a classroom teacher. He later worked for Twin Falls State Park and the West Virginia Department of Health and Human Resources. Pat was a life-long learner. He spoke French and Spanish fluently, and was conversant in German, Italian, and Portuguese. Most recently he enrolled in an online course at UCLA to study Russian. He put his knowledge to good use by serving as an online tutor for international students who were studying English. Pat was a gifted musician. He took organ lessons as a teenager, which he paid for with money he earned from his paper route. Years later, he became the organist at the Highland Avenue Baptist Church, and continued playing the organ there until the Sunday before his death. For many years, Pat conducted the Mullens Community Christmas and Easter Cantatas. In this past year, he served as the church secretary. It may well be that Pat's greatest work, and a work to which he felt called, was the tender loving care he provided to his mother in the waning years of her life. This he did with much skill and devotion, and his family is forever grateful. He is survived by his aunt BettyJean Ziegler of Richmond, Virginia; his siblings: Kathy Lyon and her husband Larry of Attica, Indiana; Timothy McGhee and his wife Cindy of Charleston, West Virginia; Susan McGhee of Bloomington, Indiana; and Anne McGhee and her partner Dennis Gallagher of Wilmington, Delaware; his nieces and nephews: Don Lyon and his wife Kathie of Greenwood, Indiana; Chad Lyon and his partner Chris Ginter of Indianapolis, Indiana; Megan McGhee DeRuiter and her husband Neil of Scott Depot, West Virginia; Annie McGhee and her husband Blake Gehringer of Seattle, Washington; Halley Pradell of Wilmington, Delaware and Ben Pradell of Wilmington, Delaware; his great-nephews and great-niece: John Lyon, Willie DeRuiter, and Cindy Gehringer; numerous cousins, including Barbara Warden and her husband Carter of Beckley, West Virginia; and as many friends as there are stars in the sky.2 He was born on February 5, 1946 at Roanoke, Virginia.2,3 He died on September 6, 2017 at Wyoming Co., West Virginia, at age 71.2
