The most wonderful grandma and mom died March 7, 1995.
Born May 6, 1923 to Arthur and Madeline Nelson in Knoxville, Illinois.She grew up in a loving family and leaves her sister, Shirley (Charles) Suss.
During World War II she came with her aunt to live in Salt Lake. She met William G. Merrill while there and married him Nov. 6, 1945. Together they had five children, Lin, Charsti (Vince), Scott (Andrew), Randi, and Arthur. Randi and Arthur preceded her in death.
Eunie was a shy woman with an iron will and a very quick wit. She adored her grandkids and help raise every last one of them. They all carry her legacy of love. All of her grandkids, Michael, Ryan, Margot, Nicholas, Micah, Zachary and Alex will miss her terribly.
Eunie hated her first name along with pomp and ceremony. Instead of sending flowers, Mom would have liked you to make a contribution to the Humane Society. Mom loved children and animals.
Bill, Lin, Charsti and Scott would like to thank all the people who have been so kind to us during Mom's emergency and after her death.
At Mom's request, there won't be a viewing, but friends may call Friday, March 10, 1995, from 6-8 p.m., at the Larkin Mortuary, 260 East South Temple. A brief tribute to Mom will be held at 10:00 a.m. Saturday, at the Mortuary.
"BE CAREFUL, MOM"
