Written by Annette
Potter, d/o Creed
Flannery Potter and Ida Fuller (Ida Fuller Potter was sister of Minnie
Fuller McIntyre). Jacqueline McIntyre "Jackie" Meyer took me in and loved me when I was a young girl and she was
always very kind to me. I was able to get to be with her when she was here in
South Houston and Galveston when we were all young. I loved Jacqui more than you
can ever know. Being too far away from a person to visit doesn't diminish the
love you have for them. Jacqui was a loving, intelligent, interesting,
insightful, encouraging, funny, wonderful person and I will never forget her.
She had a way of making you feel very special and she made you believe in
yourself and your own abilities. I loved her candor and the way she would relay
her feelings to you without reservations. She was open and honest and you always
knew exactly where you stood with her. There's no one like her and never will be
another Jacqui. She will be greatly missed by all who knew her.
The following was written by Victoria "P J" Broughton (source)
for her Grandmother, Jacqueline McIntyre Meyer d/o Homer McIntyre and Minnie
Fuller: Jacqueline McIntyre Meyer touched the lives of many people during her
time on this earth, and she went by many different names, but one of her most
treasured names was the one I deemed her at a very young age, “my Nana”. Yes she
was my Nana and I was her PJ, short for what I was, a little bit of Pam and Jack
mixed together. Some of you may not know this but my nana was a huge part of my
life. She lived with me from the time I was two until I was seventeen years old.
I have many fond memories of her during that time. I can still see her pulling
me down the beach in a laundry basket telling me “wave to Baba, PJ” and I would
look up at the deck of our beach house and see my grandfather smiling down on
us, much like I know both of them are doing today.
I remember getting off the school bus when I was 5 and running down the dirt
road that led to our big brown house on the beach and there my nana would be
waiting for me with open arms. She’d bring me upstairs to the smell of baking
cookies and I knew there would be a bowl and spoon waiting there for me to lick,
my way of helping Baba bake. Baba and I would have coloring contests with Nana
as the judge and he just could never understand how a five year old beat him
every time, and Nana would just shake her head and say, “look at this bill,”
holding up my drawing, “how could you ever expect to color a more beautiful
picture than that?” And I would just smile because my Nana knew how to make you
feel like you were the best and most loved child in the world. And I watched her
make many others feel like that throughout the years.
I have so many special times I can remember with her, Christmases, birthdays,
summer vacations, and all the little things in between. I learned so much from
her and she taught me how it feels to be truly loved. She was like a second
mother to me, we had our fights like most daughters and mothers do, mainly in my
early teen years when we spent most of our time with just the two of us, as my
mother had to work and commute an hour away. I took care of my Nana and she took
care of me. She told me when I was being a selfish little brat and I told her
when she was being a crazy old lady, but mainly we just had fun together. She
welcomed all my friends for sleepovers that sometimes lasted for days and all of
them adored her.
My mother and Nana adopted some of my friends like they were their own and Nana
called this group “Her Girls,” myself, Nahal, Crystal, Jessica, Katie, and later
on Katrina and she loved us all. She was filled with joy when “her girls” were
around. We sat and listened to her stories, joked and laughed, and asked
questions all young girls want to know. She wasn’t just MY Nana anymore, she was
OUR Nana and she will forever live on in our hearts.
There are too many memories, too many lessons learned to list them all would
take a lifetime. And to try and sum up the essence of my grandmother would be
extremely hard. All I can say is how happy I am to have experienced a love like
my Nana and I had. She wanted the world for me, she would always tell me to do
my best, do what makes me happy, she forever believed in me and I could do no
wrong in her eyes. Before she got sick I never really got a chance to tell her
how much she meant to me, how much I appreciated everything she did for me over
my nineteen years, and how much I would miss her once she was gone. But on her
last day here I crawled up in her bed and said it all, all I had wanted to say
but never did. The last thing she said to me was “I love you baby” and as tears
rolled down my face I said and Ill say again, “I love you too Nana, I will
always love you.”
