BRENDA MERRITT Obituary

She was a 1978 graduate of White County High School and went on to further her education at Piedmont College and the University of Georgia.

Lynn dedicated many years to nurturing the minds of students, retiring in 2020 after a fulfilling career.
In addition to her mother, Virginia Allen Merritt, she is survived by her brother, Johnny Merritt (Yvonne); niece, Lindsay Brooke Merritt Brown; nephew, Benjamin Logan Merritt; and several cousins who will also cherish her memory.
