She served as the church treasurer, taught Sunday school, volunteered with Vacation Bible School, helped prepare bereavement dinners, and was an active participant in the Young at Heart ministry. Her love for the Lord was evident in both her words and her actions, and she found great joy in serving her church family.

Merry had a creative spirit and loved expressing it through baking, scrapbooking, calligraphy, candy making, and traveling.

Whether creating handmade gifts, preparing treats for loved ones, or preserving precious family memories, Merry poured love into everything she did.

Above all, Merry treasured her family. She found her greatest joy in spending time with her children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, celebrating life's milestones, and creating memories that will be cherished for generations.
