MERRY FAETT Obituary
Merry Lou (Abels) Faett, 90, of Mt. Lebanon, died February 10, 2020 after a brief illness. Merry Lou had a unique first name that foretold her unique and wonderful life. Raised on a houseboat by her parents, Catherine M. and Alvin ("Hoppy") Abels (both deceased), on the Monongahela and Ohio Rivers, Merry Lou later went ashore on Neville Island where she spent her formative years. She moved to Mt. Lebanon in 1960 with her cherished husband, Norman ("Red") J. Faett, Jr. (deceased), where she raised her four beloved children, Norman J. Faett, III (Becky), Alvin A. Faett (Monica), Frederick M. Faett (Donna), and Catherine L. Stimmel (William). "Grandma" to ten beautiful grandchildren - Abigail, Allison, Norman ("Jack"), Catherine, Alexander, Andrew, Julia, McLain, Conrad and Marlene, and two great-grandchildren – Bridie and Cillian. Loving sister to Harriet E. Lawrence (deceased) and Alvin A. Abels. Per Merry Lou's request, there will be no viewing or services.

Our deepest sympathy and heartfelt condolences to the entire family. Merry Lou and Red were warm, kind and gracious neighbours to my Mom and Dad. Merry Lou was always interested in others and curious about life. It was a great pleasure and privilege to have known her. She possessed so much wisdom and also had a great sense of fun. I am thankful and grateful to have known her. With love to the family. Lisa McGinnis

My sympathy to the Faett family. Merry Lou was always happy and kind and I will miss her visits to Shady Lane. May your memories of her bring you warmth and comfort.

So sorry for your loss. I can still see your mom busy making bread or sitting at the kitchen table when I would come over. I forgot until the last time I saw her that she would say "God Bless" It brought back such a wonderful flood of memories of growing up. She and your dad are watching over you from above. Hugs and prayers.
