Agnes McKee, 106, peacefully passed away April 23, 2016 at her home in Oceanside. Mrs. McKee was born July 16, 1909 in Morgan County, Ind., to Ren and Lucy Swisher and lived for many years in Coolidge, Ariz. before moving to Fairwinds Ivey Ranch in Oceanside in 2002.

Over the years, she and her husband Harry traveled the world, visiting all 50 states and over 30 foreign countries. In celebration of her 105th birthday, the Padres invited her to throw out the ceremonial first pitch on July 20, 2014. As a result she was one of 15 first pitch honorees selected for the 2015 Topps Series 1 Baseball cards.

Mrs. McKee was preceded in death by her husband of 66 years, Harry, and is survived by daughter Jane McKee, Fallbrook, Calif.; sister-in-law Nora Mae McKee, Ohio; and many nieces and nephews. A Celebration of Life will be held at Fairwinds at a later date.
