Life Journey of Eunice Jean McIntyre Eunice Jean McIntyre, 81, of Arlington, Texas, peacefully departed from this earthly realm on October 23, 2023, surrounded by family and friends.

Born on October 23, 1942, in Chicago, Illinois to the late and honorable Bishop Jesse Campbell and Mother Agnes Marie (Goodwin) Campbell, Eunice the 5th of 10 children, was the youngest girl of the Campbell family.

Reared in a "God-honoring family, Eunice, affectionately known as Jean, flourished in her pursuits. At the family's church, St. James Church of God In Christ, Eunice's spiritual enlightenment started early. Her mother Agnes, was musically inclined, so it was important to make sure that all her children were musically educated.

Eunice received music lessons from her mother and a neighboring music teacher, Mr. Earl Bedford. This would lead to Eunice later becoming one of the church’s organists.

After attending Riis Elementary and graduating from Crane High School, Eunice married Mr. Johnnie W. McIntyre and to that union, 7 children were born: Johnnetta, David, Rhonda, Diana, Tina, Johnnie and Chris.

Settling into her own family life, Eunice would continue her educational path attending Malcolm X College, Northwestern Business College, and Pivot Point Academy. Eunice's life path was geared early on to be one of service and creativity. She worked as a hairstylist, a paraprofessional at Michele Clark Academy, for the US Postal Service. She wore many hats in her professional and church life. Church would be where she found solace, strength and a continued sense of belonging. Her unwavering devotion to her faith and family was a guiding force that shaped her life and interactions with others. Eunice's caring heart extended beyond her immediate family, she was known to be witty, funny, smart, and a straight shooter. As a mentor to countless young women, she imparted wisdom and spoke straight about any subject. She inspired them to embrace their roles as pillars of strength. She was a Youth Leader and helped start the church Youth Work Program and Educational Center.

She would later become the Sunday School Representative for 5th Jurisdiction under the leadership of Superintendent Knight. Eunice found joy in simple pleasures. She loved reading, games, puzzles, and drawing, which brought her a sense of tranquility. She made sure that all her children experienced these same pleasures.

Eunice's unwavering commitment to her family and friends was a testament to her deep love and loyalty. She became the caretaker to her beloved mother Agnes Campbell, embodying the spirit of empathy and care.

Campbell, Maurice Campbell, and Frezell Campbell. She also mourned the loss of her beloved daughters, Rhonda Williams and Diana Hughes, whose memories remain etched in the hearts of all who loved them.

Favorite Scripture: Psalms 37:4-5, Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.

Favorite Songs: "When I think of the goodness of Jesus, and what he has done for me, my soul cries out, "Hallelujah!"

Praise God for saving me." and, Without God, I could do nothing, Praise God. Without God, you know my life would fail. Without God, Life would be rugged, like a ship, without a sail.
