                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEPHEN F. LYNCH

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 3, 2005

  Mr. LYNCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a friend and 
constituent from the 9th Congressional District of Massachusetts, Mrs. 
Shirley McIntyre, who passed away on Friday September 23, 2005. Born 
Shirley Powers, she was formerly a South Boston resident before moving 
to the neighboring town of Dorchester. In 1956, Shirley married George 
McIntyre, her beloved husband of 49 years and they had five beautiful 
children: Darlene, Daniel, Shirley, Vanessa, and the late William.
  Shirley was a devoted mother and grandmother who nurtured and guided 
her family as well as many of the children in her neighborhood and 
local community. She was a dedicated wife who spent her time with her 
children and beloved husband George, a retired Local 7 Iron worker who 
loved Shirley with all his heart.
  Mr. Speaker, Shirley McIntyre will be fondly remembered not only by 
her family, which includes eight grandchildren, three great 
grandchildren, and many nieces and nephews; but

also by the many friends who were touched by her kindness and 
unconditional love.
  On a personal note, throughout my tenure in public service both as a 
member of the Massachusetts State House and in the United States 
Congress, I have had the unique opportunity and pleasure to see first 
hand Shirley's commitment to her family and community. Shirley's 
willingness to be involved with her neighborhood and local political 
process is a testament to her endless devotion to family and friends.
  Today, I ask the Membership of the House of Representatives to join 
with me in offering our deepest condolences to the McIntyre family for 
their loss. We will all miss Shirley as a shining example to her family 
and community.
