Michele Ross McIntyre

December 7, 1952 - March 31, 2022

Michele Ross McIntyre lost her courageous battle with Alzheimer’s dementia on March 31, 2022. She was surrounded by family members who showered her with love. Michele was born December 7, 1952 in Miami, FL, the Eldest of five children. She met the love of her life, Jim McIntyre, while attending the University of South Florida in Tampa. They married and raised three wonderful children together. While small in stature, Michele's heart was huge and her family and friendships were cherished. She would light up any room she entered with her broad smile and charming personality. Being a mom was her absolute greatest joy in life. She had a flair for everything she did including motherhood, bringing a sense of joy and festivity to every holiday and get-together. Her love of children was reflected in her many years of work at Killearn United Methodist Preschool and Killearn Lakes Preschool as a preschool teacher. Michele is survived by her two sons, Jimmy (Nicole), Jeffrey McIntyre, her daughter, Megan McIntyre, and her siblings Patrice Garnier, Bobby Ross (Janie), Sue Joiner (Jimmy), and Mark Ross (Mimi), as well as much loved nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her parents; Bob & Flo Ross and her husband James (Jim) McIntyre.
