Kathryn Merrill Obituary


FARMINGTON — Kathryn E. (Hinckley) Merrill, "Kathy", 49, received her wings on May 20, 2012, after a nine-month courageous battle with cancer.

Kathy was born on January 1, 1963 in Weymouth, Mass. She was known for her kind hearted, enthusiastic, outgoing personality, she would do anything for anyone. Kathy loved the sun, darts and most of all, cooking on the grill, one of her favorites, grilling up the meanest meatloaf. She also loved long motorcycle rides with her husband.

Survived by her husband of 28 years Michael M. Merrill; her mother, Marilyn and husband John Dalgety; her father, Lawrence Hinckley of Calif.; her son, Sean Patrick Hinckley and wife Jessica; her daughter Collene Jessica Rose Bilodeau; three sisters, Laurrie Anne Malizia, Wendy Allen, Collene Guidi; two brothers, Chris and Larry; grandchildren, Caleb Cameron, Brianna Lepene, Harmony Odette, Sean Patrick Hinckley, II and Nevaeh Rein Brown; also many beloved nieces and nephews, including nephew Raymond Allen.

Kathy was all about her family and friends, including her best friend Lauren W. She was loved by so many and loved all. We all will forever miss her. She will be carried in our hearts ALWAYS.

"If tears could build a stairway, and memories a lane, we would walk right up to heaven and bring you home again."
