Elizabeth was more than a small business owner — she was a cornerstone of the Mount Carmel community. As the founder of Cinnamon Stix Coffee & Gift, she created far more than a coffee shop. She built a welcoming space where neighbors gathered, friendships formed, and everyone felt at home. Her cozy shop became a local favorite, known not only for its delicious coffee and thoughtfully curated gifts, but for the kindness and care Elizabeth extended to every person who walked through the door.
A lifelong Mount Carmel resident, Elizabeth was passionate about supporting local businesses and strengthening community ties. She believed deeply in giving back and was often involved in local events, charitable efforts, and quiet acts of generosity that made a lasting difference. Her radiant smile, infectious positivity, and genuine interest in others made her a familiar and cherished presence throughout town.
Family and friends remember Elizabeth as creative, resilient, and endlessly compassionate. She approached life with determination and optimism, whether growing her business, supporting loved ones, or encouraging fellow entrepreneurs. Above all, she treasured her family and friendships, always offering support, guidance, and love.
Elizabeth McGee’s legacy lives on in the community she nurtured and the lives she touched. Cinnamon Stix Coffee & Gift will forever stand as a reflection of her spirit — welcoming, warm, and full of heart. Funeral arrangements will be announced by the family. In lieu of flowers, donations to local charities or community initiatives are encouraged, honoring Elizabeth’s lifelong commitment to giving back.
