 Jerry was born on November 21, 1929, and passed away on January 1, 2011. She was a lifelong Kansas City resident who graduated from Westport High School, received her undergraduate degree at Central Missouri State University and her Master's Degree at the University of Missouri-Kansas City. Early in her working life she was an air hostess for TWA, worked as a tour guide at the Alexander Majors Historic House and Museum, and was a radio announcer at WDAF-AM working with Walt Bodine. She went on to teach English at Paseo High School and Penn Valley Community College. With her late husband, Dr. John McIntyre, she helped run McIntyre Productions, producing educational filmstrips and slide shows. She and Dr. McIntyre also traveled extensively, visiting Australia, Japan, the U.K. and other international destinations. In the early 1990s, she became a managing partner of the National Law Enforcement Training Center, helping to produce educational materials and seminars for law enforcement defensive tactics trainers. Jerry was known for her love of books, gardening, sewing and gourmet cooking. She also enjoyed discussing the history of Kansas City and its prominent citizens. She was an outgoing and upbeat person who truly never met a stranger. She is survived by her husband of eight years, James Lindell of Kansas City, MO, a retired reasonable use-of- force and physical training supervisor for the Kansas City, Missouri Police Department; and her brother and sister-in- law, Bud and Sue Kramer of Waynesboro, VA.
