Merle was a wonderful lady and community servant.
Merle was a great friend and will truly be missed. I traveled with Merle to Las Vegas, the mountains, the beach and Kerr Lake we always had a great time. She was very intelligent and had the patience’s of ten people. She was proud of her children and loved them dearly.
