In 1976, Lin married the love of her life, Jay MacNair in a beautiful ceremony at a local community church in Raymond, Maine. Together, they raised her son, Robert McIntosh Jr., and were blessed with two grandchildren: Robert III and Kyle. Lin absolutely fell in love with the families camp in Hayesville Maine, an isolated and beautiful spot on the banks of the West branch of the Matawankeg river. She told her husband many times that she could just stay there, forever! It was a spot where she could relax and find peace. Lin was a very talented and dedicated gardener, macramé wizard and talented quilter. She loved to make quilts and made many beautiful quilts that are hanging in her church, in many friends houses and in her house. Lin was very active in the community and volunteered in many places; from activities at her local church, several years serving dinners at the local homeless shelter and her love for volunteering was especially apparent at the Animal Refuge league of Greater Portland. She performed several tasks at the shelter, but was at her happiest when she was doing the hundreds of pounds of laundry required each day at the shelter. Predeceased by her parents, Yvette and Wilbert and sister Anne Bossie. She is survived by her husband Jay; her son Robert Jr,; her grandchildren, Robert III and Kyle; her brothers Wilbert and Michael; and her sisters, Elizabeth and Sharon, along with their families.
