She was a wonderful wife, mother and grandmother who enjoyed the simple things in life; playing bridge with friends, watching sports and spending time with family.
Her happiest times were at the beach with her family. She loved taking long walks looking for seashells with her husband “Jack”, or watching her children, and grandchildren, play in the sand.
She was happily married to John (Jack) McIntyre for 65 years. In addition to her husband, she is survived by her sister Mary Nalley, her three children (Paul, Betsy and Rob) and their spouses, 10 grandchildren and 12 great grandchildren. A private, family ceremony will be held to honor her life.
Extended family, friends and others whose lives were touched by Joan can make a donation to Craven County Hospice, 2818 Neuse Blvd., New Bern, NC 28561.
