She was predeceased by her parents, Mary and Don McIntyre; her sisters, Beth, and Eline; and her brothers, Douglas, Lloyd, and Ronald. Surviving is her sister Yvonne Martin and many nieces and nephews. Audrey was born in Swan River, Manitoba. At the age of 11, she moved with her family to Winnipeg, where she continued her education at Laura Secord and Gordon Bell schools. In 1949, she obtained a teaching certificate from the Winnipeg normal school. A varied career in teaching included Manitoba towns of Ashern, Whitemouth, and Bisset; Fort Frances, Ontario; D.N.D. schools in Germany; and many years with the Winnipeg School Division. Art, drama and literature were her favourite teaching subjects. She especially enjoyed creating back drops, designing costumes, and directing school concerts. She had many memories of talented students and wonderful performances. After retirement in 1990, she continued to travel for many years as well as participating in oil painting classes and piano lessons. Many hours were spent in compiling photographs and records of the McIntyre's - sometimes known as the McIntyre Chronicles. Respecting Audrey's wishes, a graveside service and interment have taken place at Chapel Lawn Memorial Gardens.

1979 is when we first met at Rockwood School and I knew that Audrey was a very independent woman who was so easy to like and respect. Audrey and I shared working on concerts, musicals, coaching as well as strategizing on teaching activities. Our sense of humor was similar and we "encouraged" each other to find the humor in many situations. Our friendship grew over the years and as each of us retired, we continued having lunches and having talks about everything. I was thrilled to hear Audrey play on her fancy piano as her skills truly developed way beyond mine. I will truly miss Audrey and will always cherish her friendship. She will always be a "special lady". - Posted by: Pamela Skyhar (colleague and friend) on: Oct 15, 2018
