Joy Ann McIntyre, 89, of Colbert, Georgia passed away on November 18, 2023. She was born on March 21, 1934, in Clarkesville, Georgia, to the late Minnie and Edwin Wooten. Joy was a loving, caring, and giving person. She was always doing for others and happy to help anyone in need. She cared greatly for her family.

Joy is survived by her beloved husband, Phil McIntyre, and her children: Steven McIntyre (Shirley), Gwen Crowe (Brian), Shannon Spisak (Mark), and Brandi Flanagan.
