Dr. Sarah McIntire was Professor and Chair Emerita at Texas Woman's University and was a leader in the Denton community. She is remembered by all who knew her as a strong advocate for women's education, especially in the sciences.

Dr. McIntire spent the majority of her career studying Helicobacter pylori, the causative agent of gastric ulcers. She supervised over 150 students, graduate and undergraduate, during her academic tenure and is credited by all for their successes. Her devotion to her field of microbiology, TWU's Biology Department and Honors Programs, her students and the education of women will be long remembered and missed.
