Pamela Sue McIntyre
Pamela Sue McIntyre Age 78, passed away peacefully on
June 30, 2025, in Marysville, Michigan. A lifelong resident of Yale,
Michigan, Pam was born on September 6, 1946, and remained
deeply rooted in the community she loved throughout her life.
Pam’s devotion to her family was unwavering. She was a
constant presence in the lives of her children and grandchildren,
always ready with encouragement and support. Whether cheering
from the sidelines with her trusty Yale stadium seat or welcoming
loved ones into her home—where the door was always open
and the cupboards always full—Pam created a warm and nurturing
environment that became a cornerstone for generations.
She is lovingly remembered by her daughter, Stacey (John)
Donnellon and son, Steve (Nikki) McIntyre; her cherished grandchildren,
Matthew (Sophie) Donnellon, Mark (Madison) Donnellon,
Paul Donnellon, Garret Donnellon, Connor Donnellon, Travis
McIntyre, John (Katie) McIntyre, Ali (Lynden) Middleton, Brooke McIntyre, and Emma McIntyre; and
great-grandchildren, Carter McIntyre and Luke Middleton. Pam also leaves behind her sisters, Linda
(Keith) Lossing and Louanne (Jim) Worton; sisters-in-law, Ruth McIntyre and Jan McIntyre; along
with many extended family members who were touched by her kindness.
She was preceded in death by her beloved husband of 58 years Larry McIntyre; sister, Diane
Kettlewell; sisters-in-law, Ceil Liebler and Pat McIntyre; and brothers-in-law, Joe and Mike McIntyre.
For over three decades, Pam operated Pam’s Powder Puff salon—a local institution where she
not only styled hair but also built lasting friendships. Her entrepreneurial spirit was matched by her
commitment to community involvement. An avid bowler herself, Pam sponsored bowling teams as
well as softball teams through Yale Rec. Her enthusiasm for local sports extended beyond sponsorships—
she was a familiar face at games across town.
Pam found joy in simple pleasures: crocheting intricate patterns with care, painting, basket
weaving, collecting pine cones during walks outdoors, or quietly watching for deer in the countryside
she called home. These hobbies reflected her appreciation for nature’s beauty and life’s quieter
moments.
Affectionately known as “Gram,” Pam leaves behind a legacy defined by love of family and
dedication to community. Her life was a testament to generosity, loyalty, and enduring support—a
legacy that will continue to inspire all who knew her.
May Pamela Sue McIntyre’s memory bring comfort to those who loved her and serve as a
reminder of the power of presence, kindness, and unwavering familial love. A visitation will be held
on Wednesday, July 2, 2025, from 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM at Kaatz Funeral Directors, 10 S. Main
Street, Yale, MI. Funeral Services will begin at 2:00 PM. Burial will be in Sacred Heart Cemetery,
Yale.

Shirley Ann Montross (Reid)

Grace Memorial Life Celebration Center

Shirley Ann Montross (Reid), a beacon of love and selflessness, passed away peacefully at the age of 84. Born on December 1, 1940, in Port Huron, Michigan, Shirley's gentle spirit and warm heart touched everyone she met. She leaves behind a legacy of kindness, devotion, and an unwavering commitment to her family and community.

Shirley is survived by her loving husband, Arthur Montross, with whom she shared a beautiful and enduring partnership, and her children, David Turner (Marcia), Brenda McCormick (Dean), and Anne Lustig (Jim). Shirley's life was further enriched by her ten grandchildren and thirteen great-grandchildren, who will carry her memory forward for generations to come. She also leaves behind her cherished siblings Martha Davey (Ron), Jim Reid (Pam), and Rob Reid (Roberta), daughter-in-law, Stephanie Turner, and a host of nieces, nephews, and friends. Shirley was predeceased by her parents, William and Maribelle Reid, sister, Joanne Crain (Dean) and her children, Jerry Turner, Kevin Turner, and Danny Turner, whom she loved dearly.

A proud graduate of Port Huron High School in 1959, Shirley's dedication to her community was evident in her long-standing role as President of Springhill Cemetery, where she served for over many years. Her leadership and compassion ensured that countless families found solace and peace during their times of loss.

Shirley& #39;s interests were a reflection of her nurturing soul. An expert in sewing and cross-stitch, she created countless pieces of art that served as expressions of her love. Her baking was legendary, and her kitchen was a place of warmth and joy where family and
friends gathered. Shirley was also actively involved with the Central Lakeport United Methodist Women baking for the annual Fall Bazaars.

Those who knew Shirley would describe her as the epitome of loving, selfless, and gentle. She approached life with a quiet strength and a smile that could light up a room. In the words of Mother Teresa, "Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to
you without leaving happier". Shirley embodied this sentiment, leaving a trail of happiness and love wherever she went.

Shirley's life was a testament to the power of kindness and the impact one person can have on the lives of many. She will be dearly missed, but her spirit will live on in the hearts of those who were fortunate enough to know her. As we say goodbye to Shirley Ann Montross, we celebrate a life well-lived and a woman well-loved. Her memory will be cherished and honored by all who were touched by her grace and generosity.

A gathering and viewing will be held on Tuesday, July 1, 2025, from 2:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at Grace Memorial Life Celebration Center 4521 Ravenswood Road, Kimball, Michigan 48074.
