Beverly Ann Merrill

Beverly was my piano teacher many years ago. She was so kind and patient and sparked my love for music.

Beverly was my piano teacher in California where I grew up. Her husband was our Bishop. My Mom Meredith Jones passed away the end of February. Perhaps they are having a happy reunion. I hope so. She was a lovely lady. Condolences to her family at this sad time.

I loved Beverly. She was an incredible friend of my mother Barbara Belnap. We always enjoyed her beautiful gardens and her fun personality. She played many times for our family, and shared sacred moments in temple dedications with my mother. Thank you Beverly for the many many precious memory´s that are planted in my heart.

Beverly was a dear neighbor and friend. She gave piano lessons to our son Marc and was a wonderful teacher who made a big impact in his life. After living in Bountiful for 22 years, we moved to Utah County 20 years ago, but we will always have love and be grateful for the wonderful people in the Bountiful 18th Ward. We send our sincere condolences to all of the family.

Beverly was an important figure in my life. I took piano lessons from her for many years and she really inspired me as a musician. I remember during one particular lesson when I was playing for her, she opened a sliding door in the living room next to the piano because she said she wanted the neighbors to hear me play. She was a sweet and talented lady and I will always look back fondly on everything she taught me.

I met Beverly years ago while we were serving as organists in the Salt Lake Temple. She was always so complimentary to me even though she was the true master of the art. She truly had a talent that seemed to come straight from Heaven! I missed visiting with her when she was reassigned to the Bountiful Temple. I was saddened to see that she has passed away but what an organist Heaven is gaining! My condolences to each and every member of the family.
