Monique Allain Meyer

A Memorial Service was held on May 15, 2016, in San Antonio, Texas, for Monique Allain Meyer, who was born on July 21, 1968, in Shreveport, Louisiana.
Monique attended St. Joseph School in Jeanerette, Louisiana; earned a Bachelor’s Degree in 1997 from the University of Southwestern Louisiana in Lafayette, Louisiana; Graduated from Galen College School of Nursing in 2014, finishing at the top of her class. Students who attended nursing school with Monique tell of her tireless work in her studies and the help she was always willing to give to her fellow students.
In her first job after graduating, she found her true calling in life, Hospice. Monique was a generous and nurturing person with a wonderful sense of humor. She was loved by her patients and highly respected and valued by her co-workers and employers. Her goal was to become director of nursing in that area of practice.
Monique spent her life giving unselfishly to those who knew her, and always lightened the mood with her humorous view of people and life. To those who knew her, Monique was a Mother, wife, daughter, sister, student, teacher, friend, and care-giver. She was a true and loyal friend who touched the lives of those who knew her.
Monique’s greatest treasure was her son, Bobby. She was a dedicated mother who gave him a good sense of humor, a solid work ethic through example, and the capacity to love and care for others.
In a last final act of selflessness, Monique chose to be a registered organ donor giving the gift of life to others.
Monique will be sorely missed by her family and friends.
