Mrs. Mercer has a total of 108 blood descendants. She dedicated her whole life 
to serving others and was a very dedicated wife who always wanted the best for

memories of her humming or singing one of the old gospel hymns. She enjoyed 
playing the piano and taught her two oldest daughters to play as well. She will 
be loved and remembered by all, for many generations to come.

Rest in peace, daughter, wife, mother, grandmother, and friend.

Pallbearers will be grandsons.

The family will receive friends for visitation on Wednesday, February 8, 2017,
