It was my pleasure to have known Merry. She was a great person at work and was missed upon her retirement from PNNL. I also had the pleasure of spending time on the bowling league when she and Dick we on another team. They were always a challenge to all, but always good sports when they beat us.

It was my privilege to work with Merry for many years. She was so knowledgeable, and I especially enjoyed her spunky personality. I truly miss you Merry, you are one-of-a-kind!

Merry was a great help in security matters, and was always friendly and easy to work with. I remember how much she looked forward to traveling with her husband after retirement, and her decision to travel anyway when he passed on. Now they will travel together in realms beyond our mortal ken. May they travel in joy and wonderment!

Merry was fun, dedicated, talented and loving. We have fond memories of bowling with the "Schu's" for years in the Battelle bowling league. Our family's condolences and prayers are with you.
