Notes for Evelyn Mae McINTIRE
from Helen L. Smith Hoke: Kansas City Star, The (MO) - Sunday, March 21, 2010
Deceased Name: Tribute Evelyn Kincaid
Who: Evelyn Mae McIntire Kincaid, 80, of Kansas City, Kan.
When and how she died: March 13, of Parkinson's disease.
Encouraging grandmother: Evelyn Kincaid took advantage of any chance to share time with one of her 26 grandchildren.
"She loved playing with her grandkids," her daughter Bridgette Jobe said. "I'd get a call from her and she'd say, 'Can one of the kids come over? I'm baking cookies and I need help.' "
Whatever Kincaid was doing came to a halt when a grandchild walked in. Little ones who liked music got extra time at the piano. Those who enjoyed drama went off to plays with Kincaid. And each at one point in their lives went home and told their parents that Grandma said they could grow up to be president.
"It wasn't that she was doting on them and they could do no wrong. She knew they had God-given potential and it was her duty to develop that potential," said Kincaid's daughter Leesa White. "There were no limits in her mind to what they could do."
Loved to learn: Kincaid prized education and was a quick learner who skipped a grade in elementary school. She read voraciously, mostly histories, but also anything she grew curious about.
"She was a kind of person who wanted to learn more and wasn't satisfied with knowing a little bit," White said.
Kincaid was a piano teacher who taught herself to play, an amateur genealogist who traced her lineage to Presidents John Adams and John Quincy Adams, a crafter of ceramic dolls that resembled each of her grandchildren, and a poet who wrote a song for each of her children.
She made sure her children knew how to pursue their interests on their own.
"If something came up in a conversation about, 'I wonder about such-and-such,' she'd say, 'Let's go look it up,' " her daughter Carrol Moore said.
Cared for others: Kincaid grew up in the Great Depression. She said she was lucky because she had two dresses as a girl and her father sometimes could lend money to others. He charged a little interest, which Kincaid told her children he gave away to the worst off.
"There was a big emphasis in our family to giving back," White said. "It wasn't about you having everything you wanted. You got what you needed and you were expected to pass it on."
Kincaid and her husband, Bill, welcomed four foster children into their family, and her piano lessons sometimes extended into prayer sessions when a student or parent mentioned a problem.
"She put a lot of energy into whoever God put in her pathway," Moore said.
Brought faith to life: Kincaid directed church plays, led the choir and played the organ. Her faith was important to her, and she made sure her grandchildren absorbed the lessons in a way they would understand.
Every Christmas, Kincaid assigned each grandchild a role in the family Nativity play she directed. The roles of Mary and Joseph always went to the youngest kids, but she made sure there were enough shepherd and animal roles to go around. She huddled everyone upstairs to learn the story so they could perform it for all the relatives.
"She would make history and make her faith come alive," White said.
Survivors include: Her husband, five daughters, one son, 26 grandchildren and 18 great-grandchildren.
The last word: "Everything she did, she did to show love," White said. "(Her grandchildren) always knew that everything Grandma had -- and she had a lot of nice things -- was a tool to express love and show acceptance and to encourage them."
