George-Anne (Jones) Kintzley passed away peacefully on Saturday, April 15, 2017. George-Anne was born on June 13, 1941 in Colfax, Washington, to George and Maxine (Keene) Jones. George, Maxine, George-Anne and younger sister Penny relocated to Kennewick, Washington, in 1947, where George built Jones Frozen Food Lockers. Young George-Anne was an avid reader, an academically inclined student in the Kennewick school system, and held a State office in Rainbow. She also assisted her parents with the family business. George-Anne attended Columbia Basin College before transferring to University of Washington to complete her undergraduate degree. While at CBC, she met future husband Dale Kintzley. The couple married on December 16, 1961. George-Anne graduated from UW with a degree in Elementary Education in 1964. During the early years of their marriage, George-Anne spent several years teaching at the elementary level, first in Issaquah, then in Othello, and finally in Pasco after the young couple relocated to the Tri-Cities in 1974. After son Roy was born, George-Anne stepped away from elementary school teaching to devote more time to motherhood and to the family business, although she maintained a part-time position at CBC teaching English at the Learning Skills Center. Over the course of their 55-year marriage, Dale and George-Anne owned a number of small businesses, the most memorable of which was Court Street Video in Pasco. Court Street Video was in operation from 1987 – 2001, and George-Anne was a friendly, familiar face to store patrons. After selling the business in 2001, George-Anne focused her energies largely on community involvement. She was a devoted member of the Kennewick First United Methodist Church, where she loved singing in the choir and the bell choir. George-Anne was also a long-standing member of P.E.O. and the Kiwanis Club of Kennewick. In addition, she gave countless volunteer hours to The Children's Reading Foundation as a reading buddy to elementary students at Amistad Elementary, and she thoroughly enjoyed her aerobics classes at the Kennewick Senior Center. George-Anne's heart was her family; son Roy was her pride and joy, and she warmly welcomed daughter-in-law Heather into the family in 2008. George-Anne's long-awaited wish to be a grandmother was finally realized in 2010 with the birth of her grandson, Jackson. Granddaughter Madison followed in 2012. Very few things made George-Anne light up like sweet kisses and hugs from her two beautiful grandbabies. George-Anne is survived by her husband Dale, son Roy (Heather), grandchildren Jackson Roy and Madison Grace, sister Penny (Bob) Bayman, and extended Keene and Kintzley family. She is preceded in death by her parents, George and Maxine Jones, and Baby Girl Kintzley, infant daughter. In lieu of flowers, the family suggests memorial contributions be made to the Alzheimer's Foundation of America or the Kiwanis Scholarship Foundation. Services will be held at 6:00 p.m. on Friday, April 21, 2017 at Mueller's Chapel of the Falls, 314 W 1st Ave, Kennewick.
