Julie Ann McClintic
<h3>June 24, 1950- Nov. 16, 2021</h3>
Julie Ann McClintic (Bisbee, Garred), 71 years old, passed away at the South Bay Hospital, Sun City Center, Fla., with her husband, daughters and oldest grandchild at her side after a week-long struggle in the ICU. She had suffered cardiac arrest during a minor surgery on her back. Despite the heroic efforts of the Hillsborough County EMS Paramedics, South Bay ER, Cath Lab and ICU doctors and nurses, she could not survive.
Julie was born the eldest child of Joann and Don Wyngarden in Zeeland, Mich., but spent most of her pre-retirement years in the Jackson, Mich., area. She is survived by her husband of 30 years, Michael McClintic; mother, Joann Bisbee, and sister, Nancy Fowler, of Jackson; brothers, Daniel Bisbee, of West Palm Beach, Fla., Tom Bisbee (Ruby), of Charlotte, N.C., and James Bisbee, of Tinley Park, Ill.; daughters, Amy Jo (Bill) Patterson, of Jackson and Amanda (Jim) Barnes, of Raleigh, N.C.; step-daughter, Beth Ann (Nick) Baise, of Plymouth, Mich., and step-son, Shaun Michael McClintic (Andrea), of Gainesville, Fla.; grandchildren, Courtney, Barron-Garred, Taylor Patterson and Hanna Patterson, of Jackson, Mich., and Avery and Camden Barnes of Raleigh N.C.; step-grandchildren, Emma, Ava and Lexie McClintic, of Gainesville, Fla., Carter and Bridget Baise, of Plymouth, Mich., and Kaleb (Danielle) Patterson, of Jackson; five great-grand children; and several cousins, nieces and nephews. She was preceded in death by her father, Don Wyngarden; adoptive father, Clark Bisbee; brother, David Bisbee, and sister-in-law, Dawn Bisbee; nephew, Chase Bisbee; and former husband, Richard Garred.
Julie was a loving and caring wife, mother and grandmother. She worked for years as a waitress at her beloved Bill Knapps, and as a CNA, providing home health care for elderly through agencies, and several years for Hospice of Jackson, providing aid and comfort to terminally Ill patients. She also provided long term care for several private patients. She was a wonderful homemaker with a special talent for organizing, interior design and decorating; her house always looked like something out of a magazine. She was not allowed in her husband’s racing garage because she always wanted to ”clean up this mess!” She also loved planting and tending her flowers and her Schnauzers, Bo-Bo, Wylie, Ali and her latest rescue, Lilly, her Long Haired Chihuahua.
In 2011 she and Mike retired and moved from their two acre Grass Lake home to a condo in Kings Point, in Sun City Center, Fla. Julie immediately made new friends and became involved helping others by volunteering for the Sun City Center Emergency Squad. Julie and Mike became active members of the Gleaner Bay Area Arbor, a fraternal organization that supports local humanitarian services. She enjoyed participating in the Kensington Juliette’s ladies group and the Kensington card playing group. She loved going to the area beaches, trips on their pontoon to Tampa Bay area destinations and collecting sand dollars, starfish and shark’s teeth. She loved having her children, grandchildren, relatives and friends visit her Florida home. Julie was loved, respected and is terribly missed by all her family, friends, neighbors and all who knew her. She has been cremated and memorial services will be planned for a later date.
Her pain and suffering are now over; may she rest in peace.
