Olive McIntosh
Olive Hermina McIntosh (nee Baldwin) passed away on April 28,
2006 at Woodland Villa, Long Sault. She was 92.
Born on March 29, 1914, she often told stories of the great Nation
River floods and of learning to drive in a Model T Ford with side
curtains.
Raised and educated in the Inkerman area, her move to Dundela
as a new bride brought her to the original McIntosh Apple Farm.
After many years of picking and packing the famous apples, she
retired to Morrisburg and became the guardian of the many McIntosh
papers, pictures, and other memorabilia. In her role as "Keeper
of the Apple" she has been interviewed by and provided documents
to many authors and commentators including her favourite newscaster
"Max", and many individuals from around the world searching
for their "apple roots."
She will be greatly missed by her children Nancy McIntosh (Greg
Gooch) of Long Sault and Harvey McIntosh of Mariatown, grandchildren
Samantha English of Florida, Alissa English (Jeff Giesler) of
Calgary, Lezley (Sean) McCann of Morrisburg, and John McIntosh
(Katherine Peters) of Ottawa, great-grandchild Jackson McCann,
and sisters-in-law Jean and Doris Baldwin, as well as several
nieces and nephews.
She was predeceased by her husband Samuel Allen McIntosh, dear
brothers Raymond "Joe", Ralph, and Harold, an infant
sister, sister-in-law Bonnie Baldwin, sister and brother-in-law
Jack and Margaret Dowell of Brockville, and her parents Earl and
Hattie Baldwin (nee Fetterly).
Friends called at the Marsden and McLaughlin Funeral Home in Williamsburg
on May 2. The funeral service will be held at the funeral home
on May 3 at 11 am with Rev. Jean Udall officiating, followed by
interment at Dundela Cemetery.
Pallbearers are Dave Baldwin, Kevin Baldwin, John McIntosh, Sean
McCann, Joel Thompson, and Lester McInnis.

Memorial Hospital Foundation would be gratefully acknowledged
