Beth Eldredge Merrill

Our inimitable, wonderful, loving mom, Beth Merrill quietly left us on July 3, 2026.

Words are woefully inadequate to describe her, each of us could fill volumes with memories of her and the singular gifts she shared.

We yearn for the day we’ll hear her laughter again and seek her advice in our joys and sorrows.

Singular Beth:

-Epic Christmas parties

-Delectable roast beef dinners

-That shoe thing!

-Diet Coke and Chocolate

-Singing in the kitchen

-Fanny whackers

-Boogie boarding in the ocean

-Long Sunday drives

-Maddox, Iceberg, Spring Chicken Inn

She brought light and joy wherever she went.

Thank you, mom, for the many ways you gave of yourself and made our lives full and meaningful.

Beth is survived by children Sydna Freeman, Shauna (Mike) Brockbank, Kurt (Tammy) Merrill, Kent (Carol) Merrill, Salli (Kent) Brown, and Angie Rynearson.
