Merle Kearns

Matt & family deepest sympathies.

My parents and I were so sorry to hear of Merle's passing. To the entire Kearns family, you have our deepest condolences. She was a lovely woman, a great neighbor and a true leader.

I remember many times Mrs. Kearns coming into the Armstrong Feed and Grain to see my boss Bob and they would have great discussions... I know she was a wonderful woman and represented Clark County with a passion I have never known ... Mrs. Kearns also knew my mom Lillian when mom worked for the Clark County Chapter of the American Red Cross.

Merle will be missed by those of us who were honored to know her and witness her passionate & selfless commitment to her constituents and colleagues. God Bless you, Merle.

Merle's impressive skills as a public servant were increasingly evident to those of us who worked with her as members of the League of Women Voters of Springfield, OH, in the 1960's and 1970's. She diligently studied the issues, was fair-minded, strong in her views, yet always open to listening to other points of view. She was a true politician in the best sense of the word.

I had the honor of working for Merle for almost 3 years at the Ohio Senate. She served as a mentor to me...I wouldn't be who I am today if it weren't for her. She will be greatly missed. My most heartfelt condolences go out to her family and friends.

Merle was always the same. Honest, forthright and stood up for many worthwhile causes. She was a strong leader and contributor to our community. Emel & Meg Atkins
