Glendlyn Mellis "Laney" Merinkers

I'm so sorry to hear that Ms Laney has passed. She was such a kind and soft spoken woman. I will always remember that about her. My love and prayers to all the family. God Bless you all

Laney was such a strong woman, always there for each of us girls. She loved for us to text back and forth and it was amazing to me that she learned texting later in life. She missed going out dancing and we often talked about that. She will be greatly missed. Love you Laney! Enjoy your time in heaven. Until we are back together... Brenda Hydrick

Prayers for family and friends as they celebrate her life. I am honored to have been able to care for her during her end of life.

The thing I loved the most about Laney was her perpetual smile and that sweet Southern drawl. You could feel the warmth just oozing out of every pore. She wanted you to be comfortable and welcome at anytime. She was a beautiful woman inside and out and she welcomed my daughter into the family as if she had known her since the day she was born. I learned to Shag from George and her and just as I entrusted my precious daughter to her, she in turn gave us her most precious son Nick. We were...

When I was a young girl your dad, George was one of my dad's best friends. My dad was Gilbert Smith and he owned the nightclub The Coconut Grove. Your dad being a Chas. County policeman used to come by our home quite often to see my dad. My greatest memories are your dad sitting and playing the piano with me. Oh how I loved your daddy. I wish I had known your mom as she was one gracious lady. My blessings of peace be with each of you. Just wanted to share this wonderful childhood memory I...

Ms.Laney used to make the best pound cakes, we would get so excited when she would call to let me know she would be making us one, I always will cherish and miss the phone calls, she called every Birthday and sing happy birthday to me, Tommy and Lexy every year, she was a sweet sweet soul and would do anything for anyone, she had a heart of hold, we will miss you so much, rest in peace. We love you Gina, Tommy & Alexis

That picture looks just like I remember her. She had special genes because I don't think she ever aged. She was a beautiful lady.

Ms Laney was a gracious, beautiful lady. I always enjoyed being in her company. My sympathies to family.
