Carol Anne McIntyre, formerly of Howard Avenue, Lockport, NY passed away peacefully on Sunday, August 12, 2018 at Eastern Niagara Hospital at the age of 82. Carol was born on March 31, 1936 to Marvin and Marie Zeitz and spent her early life on the farm on Mapleton Road in Pendleton with her sisters, Janet (Edward) Beres (predeceased) and Beverley (Richard) Zellner.
After graduating from Lockport High School, Carol worked as a dental assistant in the office of doctors Kelsey and DeLange. As she started to raise her children, she helped out in the family store “Mac’s Market” on Bewley Parkway. Later, she worked for 20 years at Harrison Radiator, where she made many long-time friends.
Carol was an avid gardener, tending the memorial gardens along the Canal, competing in violet competitions, giving gardening advice to family and friends and maintaining beautiful beds of roses and day lilies around her own home.
Carol is survived by her children, Cheryl (Kenneth II) Smith of Pendleton, Rebecca (James) Boseck of Canandaigua, Keith (Lisa) McIntyre of Macedon and Stephen (Molly) McIntyre of Akron. Grandma Mac was most proud of her grandchildren, Carly (Andrew) Short, Collin (Victoria) Smith, Benjamin and Matthew Boseck, Jomarie, Jake, Bryan and Brooke McIntyre.
Relatives and friends may call in Prudden and Kandt Funeral Home, 242 Genesee Street, Lockport Wednesday August 15, 2018 from 2 to 4 P.M. followed by a memorial service immediately following at 4 PM.
Carol’s family would like to extend many thanks to the Howard Avenue neighbors and friends and to all of the wonderful caregivers, both in-home and at Odd Fellows/Elderwood and Briody’s, who have lovingly supported her and our family throughout the past few years. In Lieu of flowers memorials to a charity of one’s choice would be appreciated by the family.
