Andrea Magee Passes

In loving memory of Andrea Magee

Andrea Catherine Magee passed away peacefully at her home on Sept. 5, 2025 at the age of 67.

Only daughter of the late Dorothy and Samuel Magee, she was born in Montreal, Que., on Dec. 20, 1957.

Andrea cherished her ‘feathered loved ones’ Ren and Joey who brought her great joy and laughter.

A huge void will be left from Andrea’s passing. She will always be missed and remembered by cousins Pamela, Darryl (Donna) Patterson, Mike Magee of Utah, and her many loving nieces and nephews, as well as her “brothers from another mother,” Bill Minna and Gord Brown, and many close friends.

Andrea was predeceased by her longest and closest friend, her dear Donna Lacey.

A fashion dream, a beauty queen, Andrea knew how to capture a scene! And Andrea was at ease with people from all walks of life, this was one of her many lovely qualities as was her unwavering compassion for all animals.

As a Regulatory Affairs Associate, Andrea enjoyed a devoted career with Bayer Inc. for many decades.

Andrea’s biggest passions in life were horses, rock n' roll, fast cars, and of course, Don Johnson! At a young age, she rode her own horse, performed dressage, jumping and together she and Donna were regular “stable rats.” Throughout her life, Andrea expressed her passion for horses as a member of the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame and the LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Society, where she recently became a Director. Andrea volunteered with the Canadian Horse Racing Hall of Fame for 20 years, beginning as a member of the organization’s Planning Committee, before being appointed Chair of that committee in 2014. Her adventurous life continued with rock n' roll, and when that wasn’t loud enough for her, she added race cars, by promoting and directing Indy car driver Paul Tracy!

Memorials or donations may be given to LongRun Thoroughbred Retirement Society at longrunretirement.com.

A Celebration of Andrea’s Life will take place at a later date.

Please join Standardbred Canada in offering condolences to the family and friends of Andrea Magee.
