Known to everyone (Not just family) as “Grandma Mert” she and Grandpa Red lived in their 
beloved little cabin in the desert of Johnson Valley, California following retirement in 1976. 
Everyone knew they could just show up at the door and be welcomed. 

She was very active all her life. PTA, Crossing Guard, Swimming Pool Manager, bus driver, 
Citizen of The Year 1972, and so much more in the city of Sierra Madre, California where they 
lived prior to retirement. She was the first female school bus driver in the state of California. 

Grandma and Grandpa were avid campers and fishers. They spent many happy years as campground 
hosts in Oregon. 

She led by example. There was never a job too large or too small that she would not tackle. 
She was kind and generous, a good friend, and also was a strong, determined and fiercely independent 
woman who loved a good poker game!. 

We will miss her every day.
