Leota Claire Calene McIntyre of Moscow died Thursday, April 28, 2016, at Good Samaritan Moscow Village. She was 88.
Leota was born Jan. 15, 1928, in St. Joe, Idaho, to Colonel William and Dorothy Beck Smith. She grew up and attended school at Bovill, graduating from there in 1946. She and Willis Calene were married on Feb. 7, 1947, in Moscow. They made their home in Bovill and Troy where she worked as the high school secretary and later as secretary for the superintendent of the White Pine School District. Willis died in December 1973.
On March 25, 1978, she married Bud McIntyre in Coeur d'Alene. They lived in Spokane, and she returned to Moscow and Pullman six years ago.
Leota was a longtime member of the Troy Lutheran Church, a "Birthday Club" in Troy, Royal Neighbors and the Order of Eastern Star. She enjoyed working crossword puzzles, reading, making quilts for her family, collecting silhouette pictures and Hummel figurines, and traveling - especially to see family in Kentucky and Georgia and going to Disneyland. She loved spending time with her grandchildren and great-grandchildren and cleaning her house.
Leota is survived by her husband, Bud, in Spokane; a daughter, Janice Bieren, of Moscow; and her sister, Jessie Linderman, of Bovill. She also leaves her grandchildren, Lisa Geidl of Moscow, Chad Bieren of Bellevue, Wash., Jeff Calene of Las Vegas, Josh Calene of Beaverton, Ore., and Jacob Calene of Moscow, as well as 10 great-grandchildren. In addition to her first husband, she was also preceded in death by a son, Randy Calene, in June 1996.
Viewing will be from noon-6 p.m. Sunday at Short's Funeral Chapel in Moscow. A service will be held at a later date.
The family suggests memorials be made to the Troy Lutheran Church or to the Troy Fire Department.
Arrangements have been entrusted to Short's Funeral Chapel, Moscow, and online condolences may be sent to www.shortsfuneralchapel.com.
