Shirley LaVonne (Von) McIntyre, formerly of Ponca City, passed away on Thursday, March 9, 2017 at St. Francis Heart Hospital in Tulsa. She was 89 years old…only one month and 6 days from her 90th birthday.
Von was born to John and Nellie (Elmore) Sankey on April 15, 1927 on a farm near Oto, IA. Her father passed away when she was nine and the family moved to a farm near Blackwell, OK where she graduated as salutatorian of her class in 1945. At the conclusion of the World War II, she met and married Howard McIntyre on June 3, 1946 in Wellington, KS. They made a home in Blackwell, OK and lived there until moving to Ponca City in 1959 with their two daughters, Linda and Jody. They celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary before his death in 2011. She was a homemaker during the time the girls were at home. When they were both in school full time, she went to work and served as secretary to Mayor Joe Boylin. Her career path led her to employment with Oil Well Supply, a collection agency, and finally to the Technical Services Lab at Conoco. She retired from her executive secretarial position there in May, 1985.
Her greatest joy upon that retirement was taking care of her infant grandson, Mark. Von enjoyed participating in activities of her children and their families. She and her husband did extensive traveling in Europe, Canada, Hawaii, and the 48 contiguous states as well as cruises to Alaska and the Carribean. She spent many hours working on community service projects which included tutoring students at Garfield Elementary, sewing outfits for You Are Special, and knitting caps for newborn residents of Ponca City Regional Medical Center. The last cap she produced was #935. She was a member of First United Methodist Church until Howard’s death and then faithfully attended First Christian Church until her move to Bixby, OK in 2016. At the time of her death, she was a member of Bixby United Methodist Church.
Von is survived by her daughters: Linda Stahl and her husband Dan of Bixby, OK; Jody Smith and Jim Smith of Ponca City; grandsons, Jeff Stahl and wife Reona and their children Carter and Easton of Broken Arrow, OK and Mark Stahl and children Lleyton and Liam Stahl-Zaslavsky of Leawood, KS; two sisters-in-law, Mrs. Marye Lou (Hubert) McIntyre of Tonkawa and Mrs. Doris (Jack) Haddican of Tulsa.
