CLEARWATER, Fla. — A graveside service for Elizabeth Salisbury MacDonald who passed away on May 7, 2012 at Mease Countryside Hospital in Safety Harbor, Florida following a short stay for congestive heart and respiratory failure, will be held in late July or early August at the Riverside Cemetery in Woodstock, Vermont where Elizabeth will be laid to rest with her husband Leslie. Her son, Russell, was with her.
Elizabeth was born Sarah Elizabeth Salisbury on September 2, 1919 in Westfield, NJ to Edgar Porter (Nate) and Margaret Salisbury. Nate Salisbury was an executive with Standard Oil of New Jersey and worked in New York City. She was called by her middle name, Elizabeth, from early childhood and never used her given first name. However, she never officially changed it, and that caused a lifelong confusion factor for her.
Elizabeth grew up in Westfield, NJ, and attended grade school there, followed by private boarding school during high school. She attended Katharine Gibbs College for girls in Boston in 1936-37, traveled for about a year, including at least one trip to Cuba, and then enrolled at St. Petersburg Junior College in St. Petersburg, FL, graduating in 1941 with a two-year degree in business.
Following graduation, she worked in New York City for Standard Oil of New Jersey for several years during World War II.
In 1943, she met Leslie J. MacDonald, a Canadian soldier on leave in New York City. They were married on May 20, 1944 in New York City and moved to Kingston, Ontario where Leslie was stationed. They stayed there until the end of the war when Leslie was released from his military commitment.
After the war, they moved back to New York City for a year or so, where Leslie worked as a chemist in a plastics factory. He found that he didn’t like that job, and having come from a family of teachers, he decided he would also become a teacher. He went back to school and earned his Master’s in Education from Columbia. After completing his degree they moved to Fair Haven, VT to stay with Elizabeth’s now-retired parents, while Leslie searched for a job. He found that job in Woodstock, VT, where he was hired as a high school math and science teacher. He taught there until his retirement in 1976, and Elizabeth stayed at home and raised their three sons, Russell, John, and Robert.
Elizabeth was a strong supporter of Scouting and served as a Cub Scout Den Mother for many years during the period when her own boys were in their preteens. Many of her former Cub Scouts are still residing in Woodstock.
After retirement, Elizabeth and Leslie moved to Dunedin, FL where they lived in a mobile home park called Trailer Towne until 1996. Then they moved to the Regency Oaks Apartments in Clearwater, FL, where they lived the rest of their lives. One of Elizabeth’s favorite pastimes was riding her bicycle, and she could be seen riding it around Travel Towne and the neighborhood, and in later years at Regency Oaks.
Elizabeth is survived by her sons Russell, John, and Robert; four natural grandchildren, Logan, Trevor, Spencer, and Faren; one adopted grandson, Jamie; and one great grandson William.
Elizabeth was predeceased by her husband Leslie in 1999, and five brothers and sisters; James, William, Mary, Margaret (Dede), and Ruth.
She looked forward to receiving the Vermont Standard in the mail every week and read every word to keep track of events in Woodstock. She always called Woodstock her real ‘home’.
Local arrangements are under the direction of the Cabot Funeral Home in Woodstock, condolences may be offered by visiting www.cabotfh.com .
In lieu of flowers, please make a donation to the American Heart Association in Elizabeth’s name.

SHARON — A memorial service for Joseph R. McIntyre, 72, who died May 10, 2012 at his home with his family in Sharon, were held May 15 at the Sharon Congregational Church.

After graduation, Joe enlisted in the US Air Force, serving his country from 1959 until 1963. Joe returned home and enrolled in Newton Junior College, earning a degree in nursing. He began his nursing career working with individuals with mental health issues at the Metropolitan State Hospital in Waltham, Mass., a psychiatric state facility. It was there that he met his future wife, Linda Coffin. It was also when the love affair between the Coffin Family and “Mac” began.
Linda and Joe married on June 16, 1979 at St. Luke’s Church in Belmont, Mass. With his focus still on nursing but looking for a geographic change, Joe and Linda moved to Canaan, N.H. in 1980 where Joe was hired as the school nurse at Cardigan for over a decade.

During this time he balanced his career and his role as a parent, spending time at football and lacrosse fields, gymnasiums and ice rinks cheering on his boys. It was after the boys graduated from school that Joe’s career went full circle and he returned to a nursing position with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, a job he commuted to weekly. Joe’s success in the nursing profession was attributed to his compassion for others and his sense of humor, which helped him gain his patient’s trust and confidence.
Joe was drawn to the Upper Valley by his love of the outdoors, an avid skier, Joe traveled to Jackson Hole and other venues out west as well as all of the New England ski resorts. Joe began an annual fishing excursion to Pittsburgh, N.H. back in the 1980s and loved when his families, especially his sons, were old enough to enjoy it with him. Joe and Linda camped frequently each summer, both locally with friends and neighbors and down the east coast with family. Joe was an avid sports fan and enjoyed watching all of his favorite New England teams compete, though his greatest joy came in watching his three sons’ sporting events.

McIntyre of Burlington; a sister, Jeanne McIntyre of Berlin; several nieces and nephews; as well as numerous in-laws to whom he was a son and brother.
