Merri Binns Obituary
As a military child, Merri grew up in many places, landing last in Colorado and graduating from Widefield High School in Widefield, Colorado. She married A. Kenneth "Ken" Binns in Colorado Springs, where they built a life together. For many years, Merri dedicated herself to her family as a homemaker before embarking on a highly successful career in sales. Known for her integrity and honesty, she earned the respect of colleagues and clients alike.
Merri was preceded in death by her husband Ken; her parents; her sister Theresia "Terri" Cranford of Enid, Oklahoma; her brother Marcus Koen of Colorado Springs, Colorado; and her nephew Glen Connally of Panama City, Florida.
She is survived by her son Timothy Binns and his husband Tom Kobes of Bradenton, Florida; her daughter Courtney Binns; her grandsons Dameon and Daiven Binns; and her granddaughter Janie Binns.
The family has chosen to mourn privately. May Merri's memory bring comfort to all who knew and loved her.
