William 'Bill' Mercer, 83, of Medina, passed away unexpectedly on Sunday, February 1, 2026. Bill was born on December 2, 1942, in Parkersburg, WV, the son of the late Orville and Gladys Mercer.

Bill was a loving husband to Sandy. Together they shared countless joyful moments and created wonderful memories, especially during their summers at Maple Lakes Campgrounds. Bill was a caring, fun-loving, sweet and one-of-a-kind man with an enormous heart who always put his family first. You could find Bill 'bird watching' from his trailer porch. He enjoyed spending time with Sandy, playing cards, especially pinochle, with friends, playing bingo, socializing at the Fraternal Order of the Moose and the VFW, taking trips to the local casinos and Las Vegas, dancing, relaxing at the camper and playing with all his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Bill retired from Ford Motor Company in 2007, as a respected and dedicated employee. He took pride in working for this company and enjoyed the people he met and worked with.

Along with his parents, he was preceded in death by his son William 'Billy' Mercer; brother, Burl Mercer; sister, Sharon Schaefer; sister-in-law, Marie Mercer; and brother-in-law, John Schaefer.
