Mrs. Meade always made math fun and less intimidating. I didn't know she passed away. I had her for Algebra II at Lake Taylor H.S. She was always pleasant and had a smile. She loved teaching. May she rest in peace and may her family be comforted in their time of bereavement.

I was saddened to see that Mrs. Meade had passed away. I have fond memories of her, I did my student teaching under her in 1982 from NSU. She taught us to be on time, be prepared, and to know the lesson. May she rest on peace know her legacy lives on. I had a very successful teaching career 35 years. Love, Peace and Happiness
