Jill Merch "Merch" Carpenter

Jill was one of the coolest ladies I've ever met, and I knew her through my wife. I remember the last time I spoke with her; she told me about how much of a "lovely" life she had. "Lovely" was one of her favorite words. I always enjoyed her English accent and perspective. I hope that I am half the plant person she was one day. She will be missed but, we have hope to see her again.

Jill was a much loved friend since the early 80s in London UK when she and Jerry Carpenter lived there. 0ur friendship continued long distance when they moved to the USA. I will always treasure her as a very much loved friend, So full of fun, kindness and energy and a brilliant plants woman ..... RIP Sweet Soul from Worthy of Worthing
