Jackie Anne Wood Meadows 

July 31, 1941 - May 18, 2024 

Jackie Anne Wood Meadows of San Marcos, Texas, passed away on Saturday, May 18, 2024. She was born on July 31, 1941, in Brownwood, Texas, to the late Sanford and Meroba.

Jackie was preceded in death by her first husband Lester Seth Wood; her parents and step-father Marshall; and her brothers William, James, and Robert.

She is survived by her beloved husband of nearly 42 years, Thomas (Tommy) F. Meadows, Jr., and their children: Missy (Randy) Kirby, Les Wood, Randy (Paula) Wood, Scott Wood, Mark (Barbara) Meadows, and Alan (Debbie) Meadows. She was cherished by her nine grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren, who lovingly called her "MeeMaw."

Jackie graduated from Aransas Pass High School in 1959, then dedicated herself to raising her children. She later pursued higher education at Texas A&M University.

She was married to her first husband Seth for 22 years until his passing from cancer. In 1982, she married Tommy Meadows, who had also lost his spouse to cancer. Their union was a testament to unwavering devotion and served as a model of love and commitment to their family and community.

Jackie dedicated her life to serving others, spending years as a teacher assistant in Bryan and San Marcos. Her last teaching role was at DeZavala Elementary in San Marcos. In her retirement, she cared for her mother and mother-in-law in her own home, sacrificing much to ensure the wellbeing of her loved ones.

A faithful member of the San Marcos Church of Christ for nearly 26 years, Jackie played a pivotal role in establishing the local work alongside her husbands Seth, then Tommy, in San Marcos, as well as in Bryan at the Twin City Church of Christ.

Known for her talent in baking and crafting, Jackie's creations brought joy to countless celebrations. She decorated wedding, birthday, and shower cakes for nearly all her friends and acquaintances, and she made many personalized Bible bags for the children at church. She and Tommy also opened their home to college students who needed a place to live.

A funeral service to celebrate Jackie's life will be held at the Chapel at the San Marcos Cemetery at 11:00 AM Monday, May 20th, with an internment at the cemetery on Tuesday, May 21st at 11:00 AM. In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations be made in her memory to the Alzheimer's Foundation or to Magnolia Hospice.
