Mrs. Merritt was my English teacher at the Old Huntington High in 92 an 93. She was a great teacher as well as person. My condolences to her family. Tina (Smith) Brown.

My deepest condolences to Lynn and Jean Anne. Our parents were close friends. I babysat you two girls many years ago on 10th Avenue. Lois was one of a kind. She will be missed by all who knew her.

Lois was a joy to all who knew her. She had a gift of knowing how to love others and make them welcome in her presence and the presence of the Lord, Whom she loved and served faithfully. Lois, we will miss you, but look forward to seeing you in heaven with Jesus our Savior.

Our Lord certainly greeted Lois with,"Well done, my good and faithful servant!" Her love for Our Lord and her faithfulness to tell others about Him has touched many lives and has resulted in some coming to know Him as Saviour and Lord! Our friendship dates back to our childhood at 20th St Baptist Church. Believers can be comforted by knowing that we will see Lois again and spend eternity with her praising Our Lord!!
