She married Frederick C. ("Bud") Heitke 28 June 1941 in Minneapolis, MN. (Hennepin Co.). She was preceded in death by her parents Ernest & Loretta Merrick, sister Loretta (MERRICK- maiden) Irvin of Omaha Nebraska, brother Charles Forest Merrick, and brother Edward Ernest Merrick Sr. of Portland, Oregon. Mention of memorials to Fraser Community Services refers to an orginization that Mr. & Mrs. Heitke were patrons of; their son James was mentally challenged and provided the family with services over the years. Mrs. Heitke suffered from dementia in her later years although this was not generally made known outside the family. ========================================================================= Copyright Judith Magill 2006.
