Linda G. McIntyre
Obituary
Linda G. McIntyre, 73, of San Juan Bautista, passed away on October 5, 2022, as the result of a
a tragic car accident. Linda will be sadly missed by her husband, Michael McIntyre, and her
extended family and many friends.
Linda G. Wright was born in Southern California on July 13, 1949. She spent her early years
in the LA area. Prior to coming to the Monterey Peninsula in the late 1980's Linda attended
college and passed the California State Bar. She worked for a time as a corporate attorney.
Always politically interested and involved, Linda served as a member of the Marina City
Council from 1990-93. Linda was elected City Clerk of San Juan Bautista in 2008. She was a
Legislative Assistant to Bruce McPherson of Santa Cruz, when he served as a State Assemblyman from 1993-96 and State Senator from 1996-2000. In 2019, Linda retired from her position as
Harbormaster and General Manager of the Moss Landing Harbor District, after managing the
Harbor she loved for 20 years, from 2000 – 2019.
Riding Harleys with her husband Mike was a favorite pastime. With her usual determination, she became an excellent rider in a short time after she met Mike.
Linda lost her left leg in a freak motorcycle accident on September 28, 2009. She spent the rest
of her life in a wheelchair or using a walker and learned how to "do life" very well with only one
leg. She thanked God every day that her life had been spared.
Linda McIntyre is survived by her husband Michael of San Juan Bautista; sister April Wright
of Whittier, brother LaVon Wright of Las Vegas; brother-in-law Jeffrey McIntyre and wife Mary
of Reno; Mother-in-law Elizabeth McIntyre of Walnut Creek; niece Jessica Dickson (husband
Justin and their children Michael and David) of Honolulu and "step family", Gail McIntyre,
Gary and Cathy Powers, Suzy and Dave Morgan, Christopher Powers and Jamie Lee Powers.
Linda was an inspiration to all of us. We will miss her dearly.
Linda was predeceased by her parents, Richard and Unid Wright, father-in-law L. W. 'Mac'
McIntyre, son Ian Wright, nephew Jonathan McIntyre and sister Alana 'Tina' Wright.
No services are planned at this time. A private memorial will be held.
Memorial donations may be made to the Monterey County SPCA or charity of the donor's
Choice.
