Kathy Merritt, 76, of Jeffersonville, Indiana passed away peacefully on April 16, 2025, at her home in Jeffersonville, with her family by her side. Born on April 3, 1949, in Clinton, Indiana to the late Jean and Donald Merritt of Terre Haute, Indiana, she grew up in Chagrin Falls, Ohio.

She survived by nieces Jennifer Merritt Jordan (Brian) and Diana Merritt, nephews Jeff Merritt (Misty) and Liam Merritt Jordan, 5 great nieces and nephews, and many many aunts, uncles, and cousins throughout Indiana, Ohio, Kentucky, Pennsylvania and Florida.



She loved to travel, go on adventures with friends, play cards and enjoy time with family and friends. One of her adventures included taking her accounting degree from the University of Toledo and moving to Las Vegas to join Carroll Shelby at Shelby America to help build their Shelby Series 1 sports car. She celebrated all the holidays with ferocious love of crafts and decorating her home inside and out for all the seasons. She lived for, and loved her Louisville Baseball Bats. She and her family shared their season tickets with friends since they were Redbirds out at the Fairgrounds.

She was blessed with many friends over the years, especially those she met at church and at her beloved Bats games. A special thanks to her friends and neighbors at Highland Trace where she lived. She was incredibly caring and giving person who will be missed by so many.
