Angelina Marie McIntire
September 14, 1976 ~ May 9, 2020
Angelina McIntire (Age 43)
On May 9, 2020 Angelina passed away peacefully at her home in Falls Church, VA. She is survived by her devoted husband William Piero Mejia and her parents Robert and Mary Lou McIntire of Vienna, VA. She leaves behind many loving and cherished family members, friends and colleagues.
She was a graduate of Duke University (BA 1998) and also of Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Service (MSFS 2003).
She lived and worked in Costa Rica from January 1999 to May 2001. After her graduation from Georgetown she worked in international development with Chemonics for 10 years. Most recently she was senior leader with the USAID LEARN Project, a role she held close to her heart. She loved to travel, and visited about 60 countries around the world during her life, some for work and some with family or friends for pleasure.
She courageously lived with cancer for 3 ½ years with her message to everyone to “be where your feet are”. She had many friends from every stage of her life. For the many family members and friends who loved her, her life was like a shooting star that shined and gave joy but passed through our lives far too quickly.
In lieu of flowers charitable donations may be made in her memory to the Colorectal Cancer Alliance (www.ccalliance.org/donate) or SPCA to support animal rescue and protection (secure.aspca.org/donate/memorial).
A Funeral Mass will be scheduled at a later date when it is safe for family and friends to attend and celebrate her life. Online condolences and fond memories of Angelina may be offered to the family at www.moneyandking.com

Dear Bob and Mary Lou, I want to write to you to let you know how sad I am about Angelina’s death. We are never ready for the devastation of losing a child. Angelina was born with a smile on her face and I never saw her without it. She was a perfect reflection of the both of you. I know that dark days are ahead of you now as you go through the motions of living. God will comfort your heart and you are forever in my prayers. Kathleen Becker
Dear Bob and Mary Lou, I am so sorry for your loss. I only met Angelina once or twice but remember her as cheerful and smiling. She is a true reflection of you and your love and faith. You are in my thoughts and prayers as you go through each day. Please express my sympathy to her husband.
Angelina was an amazing person with a big heart and huge spirit. We had so many connections over the years. I always appreciated her being so supportive of my sister in the best and worse of times. Her smile, kindness and big heart will be missed. Sending love and prayers to her family.
Dearest Piero, Bob & Mary Lou- Thank you for sharing your wonderful wife and daughter with me for the last 30+ years. She was a light in my life that will continue to shine. Her kindness, energy, intelligence and loyalty will be with me always. I am praying for all of you in these difficult days.
Denise and I will always remember Angelina as one of the happiest and friendliest people who worked at Chemonics. She always greeted us at every event with a smile and regaled us with tales of family and travels. Her laughter was infectious and her kindness endless. May her memory be a blessing. Fondly, Richard Dreiman, former CEO of Chemonics, and Denise Dreiman
Bob and Marylou, I am sorry to hear of Angelina passing. My thoughts and prayers are with you all.
I am so sorry to hear of Angelina’s passing. We were friends for many years at Duke. I have the fondest and warmest memories of her. Angelina always had the biggest smile, the most positive energy, and the kindest heart. I can remember seeing her always bringing joy and celebrating the best of people. Seeing her always made me happier. I appreciated her encouragement, and respected her challenges of me. I am sorry we hadn’t kept in touch over the years after school but I am happy to know that she was with her family. My deepest sympathies, Russell Groves
