Deepest sympathy to those who knew Merle.
My memories are of an elegant, country lady who loved being involved in her community. Always ready to make sandwiches, bake a batch of scones or make a cake to support social gatherings. My favourite was her “bread and butter puddings”.
Her other love was painting and her artwork won awards both here in Queensland and in her home town. I treasure her portrait of my father. Mum (Shirley), Dad (Max) and Merle had a tradition of an Irish coffee breakfast at their home on Australia Day, this year, once more, the tradition will be continued.
Rest In Peace, Merle and know you were loved and will be missed by so many.
Merle you made me smile every day. I really do miss your smiling face. Rest peacefully Beautiful Lady.
Thoughts and prayers to Merle’s family and friends .Rose and Alan
Merle was a true lady lovely. Sympathy to family and friends.
It was with lots of sadness to hear the passing of a very special lady, Merle.
Rest peacefully, it was a absolute pleasure to have known you and care for you the last 8 months. You always had a bright smile on your face.
Sending my condolences to friends and family at this very difficult time.
Regards, Hayley selleck
