It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Sylvia June McIntyre, 54, on January 11, 2025. Born on April 23, 1970, Sylvia was a devoted wife, mother, grandmother, sister, aunt, and friend who touched the lives of all who knew her.
Sylvia was the beloved wife of 37 years to Robert "Bobby" McIntyre Jr., a proud and loving mother to Robert "Robbie" McIntyre III, Amber Dawn Franks, and Matthew "Jake" McIntyre, and a dedicated guardian to her nieces, Natasha and Tayla Standeford. Her greatest joy came from her cherished role as "Mamaw" to her grandchildren: Dreden, Koralee, Ryker, and Matthew "Mac."

Sylvia was a beloved Aunt, Great-Aunt, and Great-Great-Aunt to more than 100 nieces and nephews, each of whom she cherished deeply. Her love and guidance spanned generations, creating a legacy of warmth and connection within the family.
Sylvia’s warmth, kindness, and unwavering love for her family will be remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing her.
