Deanna Gail McIntyre, 69, of West Lafayette, passed away Thursday, April 20, 2023, surrounded by her 4 children.
Gail, as she preferred to be called, was born September 23, 1953, in Rensselaer, to the late David E. and Janice A. (Whaley) Wilson. She was a graduate of South Newton High School in Kentland. In 2005, she married Richard MacIntyre and he survives. She was a Co-Founder of Ad Valorem Solutions, a property assessment company in Kokomo.
Gail loved the peace that nature brings, she enjoyed the quietness of the country almost as much as she loved the sounds of the waves hitting the shore at the beach. She enjoyed the ocean and her “sister trips” with Becky in Hilton Head in October. She liked to read, paint, garden, and do crafts, as well as watch cooking shows. She was an avid shopper and could always find great deals as well as the “hot ticket gift items” that no one else seemed to find. Gail had an infectious smile and a personality that was larger than life. She loved unconditionally and whole-heartedly. Her family was her world and she cherished every single second spent with them.
She is survived by her 4 children, Holli (William) Wolfe of Carmel, Misti (Jason) Wayer of Oswego, IL, Carli (James) Fowler of Veedersburg, and Trent Myers of the Pacific Northwest; sister, Becky Craig of Dayton; 5 grandchildren, Camden Wolfe, Caleb Wolfe, Ollie Wayer, Sophi Wayer, and Gabi Wayer. She is also survived by many nieces and nephews, whom she loved so much.
Along with her parents, David and Janice Wilson, she was preceded in death by a grandson, Andrew Smith; and brother, Mike Wilson.

A Celebration of Life will be held from 3:00 pm until 6:00 pm, Sunday, June 4, 2023, at Ironwood Farms, 5441 US Hwy 52, Lebanon, IN 46052.
