Grandma Merriman left behind quite a family - 7 children, 20 grandchildren and 40 great-grandchildren. Even at age 91, when you went to visit her, she would fix lunch and visit with you at length. She could recall all the grandchildren and great grandchildren (as well as their spouses) and always remembered birthdays and what you were doing.
At Christmas (often celebrated at her home) she bought individual gifts for all the grandchildren & great-grandchildren. I have problems remembering what to buy for 2 kids.
2 years ago we celebrated Grandma's 90th birthday with a family get-together in Lincoln. The picture that appears above is a favorite picture of Grandma that we took at her celebration.
She will be missed by many.

Hey guys - so sorry for your loss. She sounded like a wonderful, amazing woman. I hope I'm still that sharp at 50 or 60.
Hope you're doing well. Can you send me the big photo presentation you did?
Tim - I'll try and get a copy to you soon - sorry I've been a bit of a delinquent here . . . .
