Mrs. Glenda Custis McIntyre, a beloved resident of Onancock, passed away at her home on Thursday, Jan. 23, 2025, at the age of 78. Born April 29, 1946, in Nassawadox, she was the daughter of the late Olive Townsend Custis and John Quinton Custis.
Glenda graduated from Onancock High School in 1964 and received her Bachelor of Science degree in nursing from MCV in Richmond in 1969. For nearly four decades, she dedicated her life to caring for others as a registered nurse. Glenda’s career began with Northampton-Accomack Memorial Hospital, which later became Shore Memorial Hospital and then Riverside Shore Memorial Hospital, where she ultimately retired as a night shift supervisor in August 2013. Her compassion and professionalism left a lasting impact on colleagues and patients alike.
A loving and devoted grandmother, Glenda was happiest when spending time with her grandsons and never missed an opportunity to capture precious moments through her photography. She loved to share these memories with friends, family, and coworkers. She also enjoyed attending her grandson’s sporting events, watching sports on TV, listening to audio books, and solving puzzles. Known for her kind heart and ever-present smile, she touched the lives of all who knew her.
Grateful for having shared her life are a son, Lawrence F. “Mac” McIntyre III and his wife, Jennifer; two grandsons, Connor and Aiden McIntyre, both of whom brought immense joy to her life; a brother, Jack Custis (Marie); two sisters, Joyce Spivey (Wil) and Jennifer Austin (Lawrence); an aunt, Rose Michell; and several nieces and nephews, as well as their families.
