Merry Beth Powell

June 19, 2024 - No one knows how I miss my dear Niece, Merry Beth. She was the 22nd grandchild of 56 Grandchildren of my parents: Ernest Ephraim Blackburn and Melva Lucille Turner Blackburn. I was so happy when finding out "IT´S A GIRL!" She was born August 31, 1952; I was 15. I loved her right away. It was a joy right from when I first saw her. She was beautiful. It seems we became friends - even in her first years, and then as she grew up, we shared some type of a "bond" that lasted when we lived close, or when the family moved, which they did quite often. Now that I found how to locate the Obituary, I hope this prints, and I can return and write more.

I remember Bippy made me mad when we were kids so I went out and caught what seemed like 200 millers and put them in her bed between her sheets. She was scared to death of millers. I have never heard anyone scream so loud.

Ps...
She forgave me after a while. She was my only sister. It's sad she's gone.

I miss you Bippy. Love you always. Your sister Scherry
