Ruby M. Long Mcintyre, age 98, died Monday, July 10, 2017 in her home surrounded by her family. Born Sept. 9, 1918 in Newstead, N.Y. (Akron) and later graduated from Akron High School in 1937. She went on to graduate from Buffalo School of Beauty Culture, purchased, owned, and operated Ruby’s Beauty Shop in Hamburg. She married Howard McIntyre in 1949 and happily continued as a farm wife for Mac’s Farms, where she spent many years enjoying, establishing, and watching her husband and children participate in Wyoming County Show events. Ruby was a member of the First United Methodist Church of Perry, always believing in only one God, but many paths to Him. She was a member of Eastern Star, Mutual Friends Club, and a charter member of the Perry Garden Club. An artist, she enjoyed rug hooking, creating her own scenes, dying, and hooking wool hangings. She also delighted in bird watching and squirrel chasing. In her later years, she was an integral part in raising her granddaughter, and until her last breath, always desired to help others before herself. She is survived by a son, David P. McIntyre; a daughter, Peg A. McIntyre; granddaughters, Lindsay (Bonadonna) Shearing and Abbey Bonadonna; great grandchildren, Isaac Shearing, Grace Shearing, Caleb Hutsen, and Addison Hutsen; nieces, nephews, and cousins.

REMINDER…WORSHIP STARTS AT 10 AM THIS SUNDAY!!!!

As you continue planning for your upcoming blood drive, we wanted to remind you aboutRapidPass, a new tool that allows blood donors to help save lives in less time. The blood donors at your 6/30/2017 blood drive can take advantage of this exciting new tool. RapidPass allows your donors to complete their pre-reading and donation questions online from the comfort and privacy of their home or office; reducing the time they spend at the blood drive by up to 15 minutes. That means happier donors! It's simple! Your donors just: Visit redcrossblood.org/RapidPass Read the information Answer the questions Print the pass or email it to themselves Important to know! RapidPass cannot be completed prior to the date of the drive. Donors must complete the steps to redeem their pass on the day they donate. Donors who do not bring the printed pass with them to their donation or cannot show it on a mobile device will be asked to complete the questions again. RapidPass does not take the place of scheduling an appointment. Please encourage your donors to schedule their appointments in the same way they have done in the past. Your donors will be asked to try RapidPass in their appointment reminders and through other Red Cross contacts, but a personal ask from you is even better. RapidPass may result in greater participation at your blood drive, since the donors have committed time to their donation before they come to your blood drive Saving lives is important to you and your donors, and everyone's time is valuable. Make the most of it with RapidPass.
