Educator.
Born near Gladstone on 16 June 1899, daughter of Isabel Mustard (1874-1954) and Robert George Wellwood (1868-1943), sibling of Robert Hugh Wellwood, she spent her childhood at Gladstone, Yorkton [Saskatchewan], Vancouver [British Columbia], and Brandon, graduating from Brandon Normal School. She taught at Arden School (?-?) and Carberry School (1918-1919) before joining the Brandon School District as Principal of McLaren School (1919-1922). While in Brandon, she also taught Sunday School (1919-?) at St. Paul’s Presbyterian Church. In 1922, she moved to Winnipeg, teaching in the Winnipeg School District at Isbister School (1922-1923) and John M. King School (1923-1936).
On 17 June 1936, she married fellow teacher Herbert McIntosh at Knox United Church. She stopped teaching but remained active in the community, including serving as President of the Young Womens’ Christian Association (YWCA) as well as other board-level positions. Following her husband’s death in 1953, she returned to the classroom, teaching in the Fort Garry School District until retirement.
She died at the Misericordia Hospital on 11 October 1980 and was buried in the Brookside Cemetery.
