Teaching and learning never stopped for this 'useful soul' Lillian McIntosh, 92, of St. Louis Park was a former teacher and loving grandmother and great-grandmother. : Newspaper Obituary and Death Notice

Star Tribune: Newspaper of the Twin Cities (Minneapolis, MN) - Wednesday, August 15, 2007

Deceased Name: Teaching and learning never stopped for this 'useful soul' Lillian McIntosh, 92, of St. Louis Park was a former teacher and loving grandmother and great-grandmother.

Lillian McIntosh of St. Louis Park and formerly of West Palm Beach, Fla., was a high school teacher for more than a quarter of a century, but she continued to be an educator long after she left the classroom.

McIntosh died Aug. 1 at Methodist Hospital in St. Louis Park after battling ovarian cancer for several months. She was 92.

Her daughter, Betty Shaw, said her mother's courage and humility in the face of chemotherapy and other aspects of the disease and treatment were inspiring. Her mother fought hard to get well, but she also wasn't upset, because she'd had a good life.

"My mother was the most unselfish person without being self-effacing," said Shaw, 64, of St. Louis Park. "Her first thought was always about others."

McIntosh taught Latin and English for more than 25 years in the West Palm Beach-Lake Worth school district. Her late husband, Russell McIntosh, was a judge in Palm Beach County.

Shaw grew up in the South during the 1950s and 1960s and said her parents were ahead of their time in terms of equality.

As a child, McIntosh said she remembers that her father refused to let juries eat at segregated restaurants and would have their meals catered instead. She said it was a bold stand at the time. Shaw said her mother also set a good example and always treated everyone she met with respect.

In the academic arena, Shaw said her mother introduced her and her younger brother Mike to books and subjects most children didn't learn until they were much older, if at all. She said her mother always made learning exciting.

"It was never a chore," Shaw said. "It was wonderful. My English grammar deteriorated when I went to school."

A few weeks before McIntosh died, she visited the Pompeii exhibit at the Science Museum of Minnesota in St. Paul. Shaw said she'd read accounts about the destroyed city in Latin by the Roman historian Livy. And a few days before her death, she attended a book club meeting.

"She loved to read," Shaw said. "She was reading all the time."
McIntosh moved to St. Louis Park about five years ago to live with Shaw because she was experiencing short-term memory loss, and to be closer to her four grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren. Shaw said her mother worried about overstaying her welcome, but everyone wanted her to stay with them.

"She was a useful soul," Shaw said.

The nonagenarian helped her granddaughter Laura Shaw-Wright of Golden Valley after her great-granddaughter Stella was born. Shaw said her daughter took maternity leave from her job as a teacher and was happy her grandmother could help. In April, McIntosh visited Disneyland with two of her grandchildren and their families.

"My grandmother always assumed the best about all people," Deb Cornelius of Eden Prairie said. "She was a great role model."

In addition to Shaw, Shaw-Wright and Cornelius, survivors include her son, Mike McIntosh of Boca Raton, Fla., a brother, Ralph Turlington of Durham, N.C., granddaughters Kathy Deal of Wayzata and Lisa Robinson of St. Louis Park, and nine great-grandchildren, Jeff, Haley, Joe, Andrew, Sarah, Faith, Grace, Lilly and Stella.

Ralph Turlington was born October 5, 1920, in Gainesville, Florida, the fifth of six surviving children of John and May B. Turlington. He was in the first class of the newly established P. K. Yonge Laboratory School, elected the Senior Class President, and graduating in 1938. In 2009 he was elected to the P. K. Yonge Hall of Fame for his post-graduate accomplishments and named as one of the school’s most distinguished graduates.

Ralph attended the University of Florida from 1938 to 1942. He achieved a 4.0 grade point average, was elected to the Student Council and as the Business Manager of the Florida Alligator, the U of F student newspaper. He was elected to Florida Blue Key, the University’s prestigious leadership honorary fraternity and steppingstone to Florida politics. He then went to Harvard to get his master’s degree in Business Administration, graduating in 1943. Shortly thereafter he was commissioned as a Lieutenant in the U. S. Army and sent to Europe. While there he rose to the rank of captain in command of a supply company in Northern France, supporting Gen. Patton’s Third Army during the Battle of the Bulge. After the war ended Ralph returned to the United States and met Ann Gellerstedt of Atlanta, Georgia. They were married October 2, 1946.

Following his discharge from the Army, Ralph returned to Gainesville with Ann and in 1947 he joined the U of F faculty. In 1949 he became an agent for the State Farm Insurance Company, a business that he operated successfully in Gainesville for the next 25 years. In 1950 he decided to run for the Florida Legislature, representing Gainesville and Alachua County, and was elected to public office for the first time. He was re-elected to the legislature eleven more times between 1950 and 1973, voting on more bills than any other legislator in the history of the State. Ralph was honored by his legislative colleagues who voted him the Most Valuable Member overall, the Most Valuable in Committee and Most Effective in Debate. In addition, Ralph was elected Speaker of the House of Representatives, serving in that role from 1966-1968. His legislative accomplishments included getting the initial funding to establish, construct and staff the Medical Center at the University of Florida, now one of the largest and most prestigious medical schools in the United States. He also wrote the laws establishing the current pension system for State Employees, Florida’s Government in the Sunshine Law, the Florida Consumer Protection Agency, and the legislation lowering the voting age to 18. Ralph also served on the 1965 Constitutional Revision Commission. In 1972, as chairman of the House Finance and Taxation Committee, he introduced the Constitutional amendment, and led the successful campaign to enact the State’s first corporate income tax.

In 1973 Ralph ended his 24-year tenure in the Florida Legislature when Governor Ruben Askew appointed him Commissioner of Education, the post overseeing public schools and colleges throughout the State and he became a member of the Florida Cabinet. Ralph ran state-wide for Education Commissioner in 1974 in a landslide. He was re-elected 1978 and again in 1982. He retired in 1986. All told, he served the State of Florida for 36 consecutive years as a legislator, House Speaker, Commissioner of Education, and member of the Florida Cabinet, thereby being elected to Constitutional office more times than anyone else in the history of the State.

His final political campaign was organizing and leading the effort to establish a lottery to fund education throughout Florida, traveling and making speeches throughout the State, and convincing the voters in 1986 to pass the lottery legislation. Since then, the Florida Lottery has generated over $40 billion dollars of revenue for Florida schools.

Following his announced retirement as Commissioner of Education, the Florida legislature honored Ralph in two more ways. It enacted legislation naming the 17 story Department of Education headquarters building in Tallahassee as the Ralph D. Turlington Education Building. It also enacted legislation naming the largest classroom building at the University of Florida as Turlington Hall.

Ralph Turlington is survived by his son R. Donald Turlington Jr., his daughter Katherine Wright Turlington, his grandson R. Donald Turlington III and his granddaughter Megan Turlington-Taub.
