Opal Merrell

This reminder brought up so many memories...the Swartz Family Reunion in Gillette, The Great Swartz in the millennium in Denver. She was such fun and a hoot, loved to play cards and dance, too. I'll love her always. Cheryl

Grandma.
You are the love of my life.
You taught me so much in life and filled my heart with love. There is not a day that goes by that I do not think of you.
I do not know where I would be now without your incredibly 'firm' love and guidance.
Little do people know, but you were also my mother and raised me. I have often wondered, how do I go on without you?
The morals and teachings that you instilled in me are immeasurable..."always do what is right", "be a good girl"...

One of the sweetest people ever. A great aunt and close sister to our dad, Ray. Was fortunate enough to see her and Dean on their Arizona stays.

She always thought of others first and remembered even the slightest details from a past conversation. She was a wonderful Aunt and a gracious lady. I'm grateful she became a part of our family.

She was the energizer bunny!! Always on the go and ready for the next adventure. Some of us should be like her!!

Aunt Opal loved to play cards. Every time there was a gathering of more than one person, some card game was going on. She was a champion. We'll miss her dearly.

Aunt Opal was a gracious, witty lady that loved to laugh, loved her family and people. We thank her for some of life's lessons. She will be missed.
