Anna Celeste McIntyre passed away peacefully on Sunday, June 24, 2007, at her home surrounded by her family at the age of 47 after a three and half year battle with breast cancer. She was born in Montgomery, Alabama, at Maxwell Air Force Base on November 26, 1959. Anna was employed by Merchant Technologies in Wilmington.
She is survived by her parents, Ms. Riva C. McIntyre of Wilmington, and Lt. Col. and Mrs. Robert T. McIntyre Jr. of Tuscaloosa, AL, and siblings, Robert T. III (Patricia), Wilmington, Matthew S. (Helen), Trussville, AL, Patrick A. (Amanda), Marcella R., and Johnette M. McIntyre; step-brothers, Thomas A. (Lisa), all of Tuscaloosa, AL, John S. (Xamora) McLeod, Montevallo, AL; niece, Kate M.

An avid dog lover, Anna was preceded by her German shepherd, Vegas, and leaves behind her beloved beagle, Beatrice.
Anna will be greatly missed as a daughter, a sister, an aunt and as a friend, by all who were fortunate to know her. She was well known for her humor, kind-heart, and generosity.
It was Anna's wish for her family and friends to gather together to celebrate her life. The celebration will be held on Saturday, July 14, 2007, from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Masonboro Yacht Club & Marina, 609 Trails End Rd., Wilmington, NC, 28409.

Matt & extended family
Sylvia and myself would like to extend our sympathy to you and the rest of the family. So young to be taken from all of you. But God has a plan and she is now a part of it.
Give our best to your mother during this difficult time in your lives. God bless and keep all of you.
