Marie S. Metoyer

Stephen and Patricia, I'm so sorry to hear of Marie's passing. I assisted you all with Marie's transition from home to The Meetinghouse. I will forever remember Marie's smile! Due to various life events, Marie "lost her smile". Months went by before I saw that smile......once I did, I knew she was "back on track". God bless

The family of great physicians in the Lafayette are of Jersey City, New Jersey I was 19 yrs of age when I left Jersey City, New Jersey, But I remembered well outstanding services rendered,

Dr. Metoyer and her family are Jersey City Royalty. They broke the barriers of the day, an esteemed and brilliant African American family. The family was a much-respected household name in my family. My mother worked at the Margaret Hague Hospital for 36 years and knew the family well. We lived right around the corner from them in Jersey City and attended All Saints school and parish. Mom would take me to see her when I was sick. Dr. Edwards was our Dentist and Dr. Lena a legend. Rest...

While living in Jersey City, NJ, Dr. Metoyer was my pediatrician and the mother of one of my elementary school classmates, Cecile. Consequently, I have many memories of her wonderful medical care. I also recall how nurturing she was to her own family and friends.
However, I feel that I would be remiss if I didn't mention what a great role model she was. My own mother (who was also a force of nature) would often tell me to observe Dr. Metoyer as an example of what could be possible...

I met Marie during my employment at the Meetinghouse as the prior activities director. She was very a gracious woman with many amazing life accomplishments. It was a pleasure spending time with her. She will be greatly missed. My condolences to her family and friends.

Dear Victor and Family, Like Miriam, I never had the honor of meeting your Mom, but feel like I know her through Victor's stories about her life and her extraordinary devotion and contributions to her family, community and country. I know that her loss will be really difficult to assimilate given the magnitude of what she has meant to you. But I hope the profound legacy she leaves, both on a professional and a personal basis, gives you some solace in the days and years ahead. With admiration...

To my dear friend Victor and your family,
I join you and the many people who knew your mom in mourning the passing of an extraordinary and courageous trailblazer. Although I never met her I feel I know her through you. The world was blessed with her presence, her energy and her love. Take care of yourself and I'm sending many hugs and affection during this difficult time. Stay strong! Miriam
