Merle Warrick Redford passed away on Thursday, August 2, 2012 at the age of 89.

Beloved wife of the late William H. “Ham” Redford. Loving mother of Marilynn 
Sorrel (Gordon) and Marcus N. Redford (Jo Ann). Daughter of the late Bishop 
Welcome and Ruby Dee Warrick. Sister of the late Betty Sawyer of Jacksonville, 
TX and Norma Briley of Houma, LA. Grandmother of Todd Andrew Sorrel, Ty Gordon 
Sorrel, Neil Douglas Redford and Luke Andrew Redford. Great-grandmother of Paige 
Elizabeth and John Moxley Sorrel.

The Redford Family resided in Midland, Texas from 1955 until 1967 when the oil 
industry called them to New Orleans, Louisiana. Merle worked as a draftsman for 
the New Orleans City Planning Commission until she retired in 1980, as work was 
crimping her busy lifestyle and traveling plans. After moving north of the lake 
in 2000 she spent her days gardening, painting, making stained glass windows, 
traveling, cooking, entertaining, and playing bridge.

Relatives and friends of the family are invited to attend the memorial services 
at E.J. Fielding Funeral Home, 2260 W. 21st Avenue, Covington, LA 70433 on 
Saturday, August 18, 2012 at 3:00 PM with visitation from 1:00 PM until service 
time.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests contributions in memory of Mrs. Redford 
to be made to Cal Farley’s Boys Ranch, P.O. Box 1890, Amarillo, Texas 79174 
(calfarley.org).
